1871 census for john walker

Hi

Could someone please help me to decipher the original image for John Williams in 1871. The 1881 information is 100% correct but in 1871 there are differences as follows-:

1881 census

John Walker b 1826 in Alconbury,Hants
Mary - wife- b 1841 in Staffordshire
Mary anne- b 1854 in Southwark
Charlotte - b 1861 in Brixton
Leonard - b 1873 in Clapham
Herbert C - b 1875 in Clapham

John was an engineer and they lived in camberwell.

In 1871 although the names are the same and with more children it shows Johns birthplace as Tlunling,Denbighshire,Wales. The image is not clear so I wonder if anyone could have a look for me and let me know what they think.

Mary's place of birth is correct but Mary Anne is down as born in Arrington - I haven't a clue where that is.Charlotte is correct. Mary Edith is recorded as just Edith and the date of birth correct so it seems that this is the right family - just puzzled.

I know Gerald in 1871 was a son - I have reference to him in some of my parents old papers etc.

Also, this could be a second marriage as johns wife Mary would have been too young to have had John A and Mary Anne as in the 1871 census shows

Someone with good eyesight would be very welcome !

Thank you

Rosie

ok, so Charlotte Cater was his first wife then named daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Cater after her.- possible.In the 1901 census Charlotte is recorded as Charlotte Elizabeth Catori Walker - will have another look

I never said she was his 1st wife, i said might be...to know for sure you'll need one of the childens B/C

This looks like Charlottes C birth

i'm also guesing but i've just looked at the1901 census and i'm sure daughter Charlottes name has been misranscribed as Charlotte Elizabeth Catori instead of Carter or Cater.That makes sense and if Charlotte was Johns 1st wife then Mary would be his second with the 15 year age gap - everything else fits - I think !
