Here is the entry of the trial in the official ledger.
30 March 1851 Census

Edward Rathbone age 35 - coal miner, Rebecca Rathbone age 32 - his wife and

Jane Ann Rathbone age 9 - his daughter, are living at 24, Wolverhampton Street, Bilston
7 April 1861 Census Edward Rathbone is 47 and living alone in Flecknoe, Warwickshire. He is listed as an agricultural labourer. This Edward Rathbone appears to be a mis-match as he matches with anothe Edward.
2 April 1871 Census Edward Rathbone age 55 is now in Leamington. He is a lodger at the house of sisters Hellen Warden age 31 and Carloine Warden age 29. They are painters and he is listed as a cabinet maker, No mention of his true birth place - the census records his birthplace as Warwick, so this might also be a mismatch.
