The enumerator’s form has been used to correct the above transcription.

The above gives his birth as around 1825 in Bath.  To be investigated (when FindMypast comes back on line! and if I then remember).

Margaret M Gregory is almost certainly his wife, née Perry.
________________

He died between this census in 1871 and before 1883 as his wife was named a widow in her probate in 1883.

I have searched all years from 1871 to 1891 for a probate entry but none was found.  He may have died at sea, or, even, not have died at all by 1883.
