Baptisms for one of his children (from a CD)
Mary baptised 21 Feb 1836 St Philip & St Jacob age 3 weeks, address Lawrence Hill, father's occupation labourer.

so I suppose they should be at Lawrence Hill in 1841, if they were there in 1836 and still there in 1851? I'll see if I can find Lawrence Hill in 1841 and see if I can spot them.

Okay, looks as though his wife's name is wrong on the 1841 census:
Piece 378 book 6 folio 10 page 15
Lawrence Hill, St Philip & St Jacob, Bristol
John Belsher 35 Lab Y
Ann Do 30 Y
John Do 2 Y
Mary Do 5 Y

I was hoping his mother might be with him, to help with TO4G, but no luck there.
