Hi,
I have found them on the 1911 census at Golden Square Cross, Stockland, Devon  in a caravan

Henry Manley Head  1881 Pedling General Dealer, Dorset Lyme Regis
Mary Manley Wife  1881 Dorset LR (as above)
Mary Matilda Dau  1898 Pedling, Dorset LR
Mary Ann Manley Dau 1902 Dorset LR
Henry Manley Son 1904 Dorset LR
Caroline Manley Dau 1908 Dorset LR
Lenard Manley Son 5 months  1910 Devon Dalwood (written on the wrong line but appears to refer to Lenard)

Have been unable to find them in 1901 to see if there are any clues to Henry being  the son of James and Fiance

Hello
Unfortunately, the threads I have been reading are from a long time ago (2009) about Henry Manley and his wife Matilda Wells. The discussion about the 1861versus the 1871 census seemed to draw the conclusion that these were 2 different families. The youngest male children in the 1861 census seem to be the same as the eldest in the 1871. I have found with other records that birth places can be incorrectly transcribed by the people recording the census.  My interest in Henry is trying to find his mother's name.  Some people have his parents as William, a farmer, and Sarah Noble.  It seems to me that a better match is a William , who was a sweep, and Sarah born in Owermoigne.  I think that these are the most likely parents of my ancestor and Henry's brother, James Manley, who was transported to Australia. His profession at 16 was given as tinman. He was arrested with an Eliza and Thomas Eglinton - most likely his sister Eliza who married a Thomas Eglinton.  From this information I  came to the opinion that the parents are William and sarah.  If any one is still interested in this thread and the Manleys, I would be interested to hear your views.

i also think William is a better match but until proved will not add to my tree.their son married my opheilia hughes daughter of Robert hughes and sarah davis.i am also in touch with Julia manley.i will see what she says.there are quite a few trees on ancestry to do with this manley line and matilda wells.regards cathayb
