James and Mary Ann married on 18th August 1834 in Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire. Thame vol 3a page 635.
A birth which seems to match that of their daughter, Rosina Ing is the following:
Rosa Ing, Jul-Sept 1846, Thame district, vol 16, page 105. There is, of course, the difference between Rosa and Rosina but weighed against her age, her father’s Christian name and occupation it looks correct. Getting the certificate would confirm this.1841Buckinghamshire Long Crendon dist. 5.

Description of Long Crendon from J. J. Sheahan, 1861.
The parish of Crendon of Long Crendon, is separated by the river Thame from Aylesbury Hundred on the west, and Oxfordshire on the south. Its area, according to the Parliamentary Return is 3,120 acres. Lipscomb states that “Crendon township contains about 3,063 acres, Notley about 725 acres, and a detached portion of the parish called Tittershall Wood 110 acres; in all 3,448 acres.” The present number of the population is 1,570; and is 3,448 acres.” The place is supposed to have derived its name from a Green hill on which it is situated; and its prefix as a distinction Grendon Underwood. The soil is chiefly a stiff pale clay.
The village, which is about a mile in length, is situated 2 miles N. by W. from Thame, and nine miles S.W. from Aylesbury. About one hundred persons are employed here in the manufacture of needles, and lace making is also carried on here to a considerable extent.
Some sites which throw light on lace making in the area:

In 1838 Joseph John Baptist was born on 27th August at New Gravel Lane and baptized 5th August 1840. His father was a carman.
Elizabeth Ann was born on 20th January 1841 at Ann Street and baptized 21st February 1841. Father was a labourer.
A few months later the family appeared in the 1841 census “The Tower Hamlets, White Chapel” in Half Moon Passage as
Josh Valle (25) Elizabeth Valle (25) and Elizabeth Valle aged 4months.
Susannah Mary born 15th October and baptized 12th November1843. At both of these baptisms their father, Joseph John was described as a labourer.When Joseph Hallahan was born on 27th August and baptized on 27th September 1846 Joseph John was a carman. Details of the birth are: 1846 Birth: City of London, sub dist. North West No. 222 27 August 1846 at 9 Bull and Mouth Child: Joseph Valle, father Joseph John Valle, carman. Mother Elizabeth Ann.
Mary Ellen Valle was baptised 10 February 1850 St Anne and St. Agnes, Aldergate Parish.
Mary Sarah was born on 9th January 1851
Then at the 1851 census the family is at 9 Bull & Mouth Street. (So named because it ran beside the Bull & Mouth Hotel. It was in the area north of St. Paul’s Cathedral and south of the Museum of London.)

“In the late 17th Century London Cheesemongers formed an unofficial guild, journeying throught England to purchase cheeses from counties where they were made and sending them back to London by coach or river, where they were sold at a good profit” and in 1865 Joseph, a cheesemonger, was made a Freeman of the City of London. What Freedom of the City meant is described hereOn 23rd November 1868 Joseph John appeared as a witness in a fraud trial at the Old Bailey in which “WILLIAM JAMES FREDERICK BALL (24), was indicted for feloniously aiding and assisting Henry Spackman to cheat and defraud his creditors.” Details are at; http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?div=t18681123-76 The following gives details of the Joseph John’s evidence:
23 Nov 1868 JOSEPH JOHN VALLEY . I am a wholesale provision merchant, in Half Moon Street, Bishopsgate-the firm was formerly Smith & Valley-I knew the bankrupt, Henry Spackman, about twelve months before his bankruptcy, not quite from the beginning of his trading in Union Street-I think he had been in business some little time-I was a creditor of his at the time of his bankruptcy to the amount of 210l. 16s. 6d.-I was one of the trade assignees-in October he owed me 150l.; that was nearly cleared off, less about 33l., which he did not pay me-other goods were supplied, and at his bankruptcy he owed me 210l.-I went to him on Monday, November 5-I believe the adjudication was on the 16th-I saw him twice the week previous, and once that week-I saw the stock in his shop on these occasions-I should say it was worth from 300l. to 400l., a good bit over 300l., certainly-it consisted of a quantity of American cheese, which I valued in my own mind at about 2l. each, twenty-five firkins of butter, which would cost 120l., and hams, bacon, and other things that I had supplied him with-nearly the whole of the 210l. was contracted in October, and early in November-after the bankruptcy the name of Ball was up-I know the prisoner-I never saw him when I passed by the shop-I saw him once or twice when Spackman was in full business.
Cross-examined. Q. I suppose you know the amount of Spackman's liabilities? A. Not justly, I think it is about 500l.-I know Ball's father; I don't know whether he is a man in good position, or well off-I would have taken Spackman's bills for the amount of my debt, if Ball, sen., had been security for it-I offered to take his bills at three, six, or nine months, if his father-in-law would sign them-I expected he would pay the whole of my claim; Spackman said he would get him to do it-I wanted a second security-I know Mr. Steethy, of Whitecross Street-I don't think I told him that I was sure of getting my money out of Mr. Ball, meaning to frighten him to pay Spackman's debt-these words never escaped my lips-I think I am almost in a position to swear it-I won't say more than that-I am sure I did not say I would frighten him out of it.
MR. SERJEANT PARRY. Q. I understood you endeavoured to get security for prisoner's debt? A. I did-that failed-that was before the bankruptcy, and before I knew of the removal of any goods. (£210 in 1868 worth c £17000 in 2016.)Just over a year later THE LONDON GAZETTE January 7th 1870 has this:
N OTICE is hereby given, that Joseph John Valle, of No. 49, Half Moon-street, Bishopsgate, in the city of London, has left in the office of the Chief Registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy, Quality-court, Chancery lane, London, a list of his debts and liabilities, and a statement of his property and credits, as required by the Bankruptcy Amendment Act, 1868.-Dated this 6th day of January, 1870. TIPPETTS and SON, Solicitors for the person registering the Deed.
(See https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/23575/page/170/data.pdf )
It looks as if the loss of £200 (£17,000 nowadays) had forced Joseph John himself into bankruptcy.See
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/bankrupts-insolvent-debtors/#2-essential-information
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/bankrupts-insolvent-debtors/
says “If you have found an entry in the London Gazette you can try looking for bankruptcy case files at the National Archives but only very few survive.
If you cannot find a case file you will need to browse various register and enrolment series that will normally only provide brief formal entries. They will confirm if a bankruptcy took place, but will not provide much detail.” This has not been followed up.On 7th May 1870 Joseph was the victim of a pickpocket and the trial, on 6th June of the thief is recorded thus:
522. GEORGE SMITH (17) , Stealing a watch, chain and locket, from the person of Joseph John Valle.
MR. MEAD conducted the Prosecution; and MR. BRINDLEY the Defence.
JOSEPH JOHN VALLE . I am a cheesemonger, of Half Moon Street, Bishopsgate-on 7th May I was going home, and when about 50 yards of my door, the prisoner, who was with another, snatched my watch and chain-he ran away, and I gave chase, calling "Stop thief!"-I lost sight of him and then I informed the police-three or four days after I went to the station and identified the prisoner from amongst about twelve others.
Cross-examined. Q. Did you know the prisoner before? A. I think I have some slight knowledge of him-I cannot say how often I had seen him before-he is a stranger to me-he was placed amongst a number of young lads at the station-after I had identified him once all the lads were disarranged and I picked the prisoner out a second time.
JAMES COWLEY (Policeman H R 29). I took the prisoner, and charged him with stealing a watch and chain from the person-he said "All right, don't hold me, I will go with you quietly"-on the way to the station he asked what day it was-I said "Saturday"-he said "It could not be me, because I was at Woolwich"-the prosecutor picked him out immediately.
Cross-examined. Q. How was it they were re-arranged? A. That is how the inspectors do it, because they should be certain.
GUILTY .**
He was further charged with a preview conviction in September, 1868, in the name of George Beat, to which he
PLEADED GUILTY- Seven Years' Penal Servitude.The original record can be seen here:

Her son, Samuel is a cheesemongers assistant. Wonder what the connection between them is. The daughters are both draper’s assistants

72. Francis Canham
From various sources, Francis and Elizabeth appear to have been born somewhere between 1813 and 1816. No record of their marriage has been found. A parish record which may record Francis’s birth is 14 October 1814, Francis, son of Thomas (a bricklayer) and Sarah Canham baptised at Banningham.
A first child, John William was baptised 1st March 1840 at Banningham.

From all censuses Robert would seem to have been born c1838 but Andrew & Elizabeth were married in Loudon on 11 May 1844 after banns:
Andrew Pollock and Elizabeth Dickson both this Parish were regularly proclaimed.Nothing further is known about Elizabeth no record of her death has been found but Andrew re-married on 9th November 1850, his new bride being Helen Borland. Helen was a widow and, in fact may have been widowed twice since the 1861 census shows Andrew with Helen and three step daughters, the younger two having a different surname from the older.
One Internet source claims that Andrew married a third time but no confirmation of this has been found.
The 1841 census (603) shows an Andw Pollock, 30, a weaver, born Loudon, Ayrshire living at Main Street, Newmilns. Others at the same address are:
Elitha? Polock, 60, an Spe Dealr??, born Loudon.
John Pollock, 30, born Ayrshire, a weaver
Mary Pollock, 15, born Ayrshire, a clipper.
The 1841 census did not ask about the relationships of the people so there are no clues about family connections. At the same time in Townhead, Loudon, there is a family named Pettigrew who list two young children who do not appear to be related to the Pettigrew’s. One of these is a Robert Pollock age 4 who may be the son of Andrew and Elizabeth who is being cared for by another family. There is also another Robert Pollock aged 4 in the district but he is with a couple who from their age seem likely to be his parents.In 1851 Robert Pollock, age 14, born in the parish of Loudon and town of Newmilns, Ayrshire is with his father Andrew, three brothers, three step-sisters and his fathers wife, Helen.
