The 1841 census for Arlingham is faint and for some surnames difficult to read i.e. WALKINS could be WATKINS - seeing if the 't' is crossed is not easy - looking at the FOD records will help.... for example

Thos WALKINS age 85 - Ind is living with
Mary MADAK - age 30 -
Jane - age 7 - christened Jane MURDOCK, 23 February 1834, parents Matthew (Waterman) & Mary
Ann - age 5 - christened 4 April 1836 - parents as above.

Mary MURDOCK (Widow) had a Son Thomas christened 27 October 1844 at Arlingham (b.....d) !!!

I think this helps (from the FOD records)

Mary MURDOCK (widow) age 38, (c1809) married Samuel DOBBINS - at Arlingham 18 October 1847.

Mary's father is listed as Thomas WATKINS - labourer.....

1851 census, Arlingham, Church Street

Sam DOBBINS - age 56, born Ashleworth
Mary DOBBINS - age 41, born Arlingham
Jane MURDOCK - age 17 - born ditto
Thomas MURDOCK - age 6 - born ditto
Mary Ann DOBBINS - age 2 - born ditto

FOD - Arlingham baptisms records start at 1813

However....

If you Google - IGI Batch Numbers for Gloucestershire - go down to down to Arlingham
