1851C. Elizabeth Parfitt, 31, dresss maker, was living with her mother,,3 of their children , a servant and a cousin at 13, Victoria Street, Lakenham, Norwich, Norfolk. Are they just visiting: where is James ?

1851-1854 The family move from Norfolk to Bermondsey . Maybe James had already moved there before the census.

1861C. James Parfitt, 44, hammer maker, was living 4, Star Place, Bermondsey, with his wife, Elizabeth, 3 children and a future son in law

Daughter, Alice Parfitt, 10, was in Rollersby Norwich with her grandmother, Jemima Singleton

Wife of James Parfitt (1816-1884)
Marriage: 17 June 1839, Parish Church, Hamlet of Heigham, Norwich, Norfolk, England

Daughter of John Singleton & Jemima Gedge

As her husband was not in the same grave, my earlier thought that she had a problematic marriage ( James being missing from the household in 2 censuses), is maybe true
