Thank you Thelma and Gins, this ties up the info I have been given nicely.
Off course I am never satisfied because I have been looking in FamilySearch for a marriage of John and Mary c.1828 to no avail. Please can you tell me if there is another source for this info please?

Relationship to Head of Household: Head
Schedule Type: Household

and

Ellen Towler Born 1834

Name: Ellen Towler
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 1841
Gender: Female
Age: 7
Birthplace: Yorkshire
Schedule Type: Household
Registration District: Tadcaster
Sub-District: Aberford

County: Yorkshire
England and Wales Census, 1841," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MQGP-CB8

but I am unable to see the full census or where the family was living.

Is this information enough for somebody to see either the 1841 or 1851 in total please?

Many thanks
