Staffordshire 1871 census Brown Family look-up please!

[cjames]

I am trying to track down my gg grandfather, Joseph Brown in Staffordshire. I know that in 1881 he lived with his wife and family on Chapel Lane, Wolstanton - Thursfield, Stafford, so I'm hoping that they still lived there in 1871.

Joseph Brown would be aged about 18yrs (born Goldenhill, Stafford) his wife may or may not be Hannah Brown as I think he was married twice. In 1881 he was a coal miner and his first child that I know of was born in 1874. I know it's not much to go on but if anyone could check this address I'd appreciate it as it might narrow down my search a lot. Thanks.

Also, in 1891 the family is in Pemberton, Lancs. I haven't tracked them down in the 1901 yet.
