On the 1861 census Joseph HOLBROW, aged 8, appears with his Father, Tom who is a widower and siblings, George 12 & Thomas 10. The boys all born Stapleton and the father, a groom born in Bourton, Glos.
However, on the 1851 census - it looks as if his father's name is actually John!

George 1 Stapleton Gls.
Thomas 2m Stapleton Gls.
PIERCE Elizabeth Servant 10 Westerleigh

From Freebmd it looks as if John HOLBROW married in 1846 and from the British Vital Records the marriage appears transcribed thus:

HOLBROSE, John Marriage
Wife: Mary WOFFSTEN
Marriage Date: 9 Jul 1846 Recorded in: Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
Collection: St Philip and St Jacob
Husband's Father: Thomas HOLBROSE
Wife's Father: Benjamin WOFFSTEN
Source: FHL Film 1596923 Dates: 1840 - 1854

For HOLBROSE read HOLBROW.

I hope this helps.
