Hi

The people shown on the various censuses above are all the same family.  Parents Joseph & Elizabeth and their children.

You found the family on the 1881 census and I then worked backwards to find them and other children on earlier censuses

Children left home at an early age in those days as most went into service

By 1881 - the older children like Rachel and Judith could be married
