yes thats them on the 1871

The only one that I can find:

1861 Armhouses, Sandy Brow, Capheaton

John Rochester       Head       43 1818 Shepherd
Elizabeth Rochester Wife        44 1817             
Ann Rochester        Daughter 10 1851 Scholar   
William R Rochester Son          5 1856

All b Kirkwhelpington

I realise that the wife is wrong, but there is a marriage between John Rochester and Jane Davison in Q Dec 1867.  Possibility that Elizabeth was the first wife and Jane the 2nd?  In looking closer, I also see that the children don't all match, so maybe this isn't the correct family.  Apologies.

BTW, the 4 previous dwellings in 1861 are Clock Mill, Capheaton, all Rochesters, and all rellies of mine.....

According to different census return's the child born nearest to 1861 was Eleanor and she was born in Newburn. Castle Ward is mentioned to be one of the incomplete pieces for 1861 :

3855    Northumberland    Castle Ward    Stamfordham (2)    Newburn: Black Callerton
