The 1871 Census finds Caleb and Sarah living at 13, Woodbridge Road in Rushmere St. Andrew where he was occupied as an agricultural labourer. Later in the 1870s they evidently moved to the Kirkby Wharf/Ulleskelf district of Yorkshire where their daughter Elizabeth was born. The 1881 Census finds them living with three children at 2, Well Hall Cottages in Gayton, Norfolk. The 1891 and 1901 Censuses each find them living with four children in Winch Road, Gayton where Caleb was occupied as an agricultural labourer.
Cubit Sidney (1) was christened as "Cubitt Sidney" at St. Mary, Playford on March 14th 1852 [St. Mary Parish Register]. He was registered at birth as simply "Cubit". He was often called simply "Sydney" in his adult life. He was with his parents in the 1861 and 1871 Censuses.

The 1881 Census finds them with three children living at Water Mill Quay in Woodbridge where Samuel (5) was occupied as a miller's carman. His birthplace is given, apparently in error, as Kesgrave which lies just 2 miles south of Playford. The 1891 Census finds them with seven children living in Seckford Street, Woodbridge where Samuel (5) was still occupied as a carman. Here his birthplace is given correctly as Playford. The 1901 Census finds them, again with seven children, living in Theatre Street, Woodbridge where Samuel (5) was now occupied as a maltster.

The 1891 Census finds them with three children - including two sons interestingly named Newton Frank (1) and Jubilee James (1) - living at The Brook in Playford where Frederick (2) was again occupied as an agricultural labourer. The 1901 Census finds them with just their daughter Harriet Emily (1) living at Brook Cottages in Playford where Frederick (2) was occupied as a farm labourer. The same census finds Newton Frank (1) and Jubilee James (1) both serving as staff at the Constitutional Club - a Conservative political club - in Northumberland Avenue, St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London where Jubilee was described also as a page.
David (1) was christened at St. Mary, Playford on September 23rd 1860 [St. Mary Parish Register]. He was with his parents in the 1861 Census. He died in 1863 [Death Index: Woodbridge 4a 441, 1863 (March)] and was buried aged "2 years and 8 months" on April 3rd 1863 [St. Mary Parish Register].
Albert (1) was christened at St. Mary, Playford on August 25th 1862 [St. Mary Parish Register]. He was with his parents in the 1871 and 1881 Censuses. His future wife was Jane Hannah (or Hannah Jane) Stevenson (or Stephenson), born around 1865 in Offton. No GRO birth reference has yet been found for her. The 1871 Census finds her aged "6" living with her parents James and Anna M. at Potash Farm in Offton. The 1881 Census finds her as a servant aged "16" living at 3, Heath Road in Rushmere. Albert (1) married her in 1882 [Marriage Index: Woodbridge 4a 1074, 1882 (Sept)]. The 1891 Census finds them with five children living at Great Blakenham where Albert (1) was occupied as a farm labourer. In 1901 the family was living in Runcorn Street, Bramford where Albert (1) was occupied as a stockman on a farm. Several of their children were registered at birth with curious - or curiously-spelt - forenames, including Elizabeth Bessy (1), James Berty (1), Caleb Terrey S. (1), Gertrude Snowey C. (1) and Warrington Wilson V. (1). The 1901 Census finds their son James Berty (1) aged "18" serving as a private in the 3rd Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment at St. Peter Port in Guernsey. Another of their sons was Albert Frederick (1) Hogger, born in 1886 [Birth Index: Blything 4a 903, 1886 (March)]. The 1891 Census finds him living with his parents. The 1901 Census finds him serving as an infantry private at the Depot of the Suffolk Regiment in Bury St. Edmunds. He was killed in action on Tuesday, July 31st 1917 while serving as Private 40386 in the 2nd Batallion of the Lincolnshire Regiment and was buried at the Perth Cemetery (China Wall), Zillebebe at Ieper in Belgium as detailed on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission page. His home address (or that of his parents) is given there as Bramford.
Louisa (1) was christened privately at St. Mary, Playford on February 3rd 1865 [St. Mary Parish Register]. She died aged 4 [Death Index: Woodbridge 4a 435, 1869 (March)] and was buried on March 5th 1869 [St. Mary Parish Register].
Julia Hannah (1) was christened at St. Mary, Playford on March 31st 1867 [St. Mary Parish Register]. She was with her parents in the 1871 Census. The 1881 Census finds her at age "13" living with, or perhaps just visiting, the family of her brother Cubit Sydney (1) in Rushmere. The 1891 Census finds her as an inmate of the Woodbridge Union workhouse in Nacton, described as a pauper. It seems odd that she was there, since she had many siblings who could have taken her into their care rather than see her despatched to a workhouse. It appears that a few years later she partnered Alfred George R. Kidby who was born around early 1873 [Birth Index: Yarmouth 4b 25, 1873 (March)]. No marriage reference has yet been found for them. The 1901 Census finds them with two young daughters - the first born in Willesden, London and the second in Ipswich - living at 4, Little Wolsey Street in Ipswich St. Nicholas where Alfred was occupied as a labourer in a tar yard.
The 1851 Census finds Charlotte at age "6" living with her mother and William (17), being entered as Charlotte "Hogger". The 1861 Census finds her as Charlotte "Scarlett" at age "16" living in the household of a farmer Thomas Clarkson in Playford where she was occupied as a kitchenmaid.
