William Cadman

[Nurmal]

I am looking for information on my ggggrandfather.
William Henry Cadman is shown on the 1851 census as being born in Falkirk (Folkirk on census) in 1817.  On the 1871 census he is shown as being born in Glasgow in 1812.  I can find no 1861 census record.  He moved from Scotland to Wolverhampton and married Mary who is shown on one census as being born in 1818 and 1815 on the other.  There is a 50% possibility that Mary may have been nee Blegen.
They had five children, one of which was Thomas - my gggrandfather.
Thomas married Ann Roberts(1839-1910) from Whampton in Staffordshire.  Part of the family including Thomas moved to Castleford in Yorkshire.

Hi,

What year did William and Mary marry?

Was he married or single in 1861?

Hi Susan
I am not sure when they married.  This is one of the reasons I am trying to find Marys maiden name.  I have a lot of information after William but none going back past William.

Hi both,

The 1861 census reference is
RG9/1996 54 1
(first letter mistranscribed on the ressource I'm using)

William and Mary were already married in 1841, Susan.

The 1851 census seems to show in laws but the image is so terrible that the name is nearly impossible to make out. (They could be Mary's sister and hubby, mind)

Just realised there's another thread about him here:
