Not sure I can help you much, but the Samuel DOBBINS that you refer to in the 1891 Census of Castleford, was my Great Uncle. He was the son of Richard DOBBINS and Elisabeth COOPER, and was born about 1843 at Cinderford. About 1880 he went with his younger brother Aaron (my Gr Grandfather 1854-1926) to Darfield WRY where he worked at the Houghton Main Colliery.I suspect that Samuel moved around in the coal mining industry, and I have no other details on him other than in 1901 he is back in Darfield aged 57, and living with his brother Aaron and family.

Kind Regards

Graham
