Not sure why you aren't convinced....you must have known the man's full name, even though your post omitted it

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Those children's names match 1871 census, except for Ada - was she born after 1871?
The older children would have left home by 1881, if that's the record you're going by.
