Thought it was the 1881 census you couldn't find him?

Do you have his marriage certificate- is there an address for John?

I think this is another Stocker Branch as there are several in Eaton Socon/St Neots area. He and Sarah married in Biggleswade so I am presuming they were both in the area, they also had a daughter Caroline born in 1881 Biggleswade

sarah's name is rebecca

looks like they had the children all christened in 1888

Christening Date: 06 Jun 1888
Christening Date (Original): 06 JUN 1888
Christening Place: Biggleswade, Bedford, England
Father's Name: John Stocker

The christening date is correct as the children were christened in bulk that year. Caroline was born Q4 1880, Biggleswade with surname Boultwood . My mistake with Rebecca , Sarah was her middle name.
