Don't quite understand.
You say you've found him in 1881 living at 10 Cheap Street. So I assume this is NOT the entry you are referring to.
Although there is a daughter Maria.
His age would also appear to be 4 years out from your original 1855 - which you say you also got from 1881 census.!


1881
James CARTER Head M Male 30 Leeds, York, England Boilermaker
Jane CARTER Wife M Female 32 Leeds, York, England Boilermakers Wife
Martha E. CARTER Daur Female 11 Leeds, York, England Scholar
Maria CARTER Daur Female 7 Leeds, York, England Scholar

Could you post up what you found please then we know which entry you mean..

If you order a copy of Maria's marriage cert it should say whether her father was deceased or not and his occupation

Hi
Thank you forthat inffo great .It tells me such o lot . I sent for a copy of Maria and Samuel Marrage Cert . Marrage Sept 5th 1892 James Carter is alive and kicking at this time. Boiler Maker living at 10 Cheap Street.
So Janes death was young? 1887. Down rf James death 1887 that can not be him ????1887 . All the other inffo seems to fit. Maria was my Great Grandma. Just a little confused over the deaths .
Regards
Kay

It was only a poss death for James, the address you have on the marriage cert would be Maria's and she may not have been living at home at the time. Was James a witness? if not they may have forgot to put deceased, just a thought

Hi
James was not a witness to the marrage of Maria.Would they have still put his name and occupation down if he was deceased ? Sorry to the other question, i was wrong on the 1881 census the address was 37 chaple st. Cheap st was on the Marrage cert.
