Yes, I looked in 1841 at all George Tomlinsons and couldn't see a blacksmith.
As to your other question...the only way I can think of is to check 1851 for all Johns b. Belper 1844 +/-2yrs and see if anything seems obvious...llike 2x 7yr olds or a big gap between John & the next older/younger child. And maybe even looking for a marriage between 1842 & 1851 for all the heads of household and see if any married a someone Tomlinson. Could be long winded.
