Census records from Scott Barker    sbarker3@ptd.net

In census records in years 1850 - 1870 of Randolph, Norfolk County and  1880 census for Holbrook, Norfolk County I found the following info:

1850 Census
Frederick age 29 born in Mass
Eliza         28      Maine
Mary E         5         Mass
Frederick      3         Mass
Eunice         3 mos     Mass

1860 Census
Frederick     39         Mass
Eliza         39         Maine
Mary E        15     Mass
Frederick N   13     Mass
George F       6     Mass
Horace E       3         Mass

1870 Census
Frederick     48         Mass
Eliza A       45         Mass
Lizzie        26         Mass
George F      15         Mass
Eddie         13         Mass

1880 Census
Frederick       Head     58          Mass
"Mrs"           Wife     54          Mass
Lydia A Varney  Daughter 30   (married)  Mass
Herbert Varney  grandson  4         Mass

Comparing these records to yours in the Bigelow Society it appears  Frederick and Eliza match although Eliza's birth year and birth state are  inconsistant amoung the four census records.  Other than that, the names  you have for the children could very well be the middle names of what  appears in the census records.  Also, Lydia is clearly listed as daughter  to family head Frederick but she doesn't seem to be in any of the records  along with her family prior to her marriage.
