Hi Julie
Do you have any birthplaces for these people - from a later or earlier census perhaps ???

Hi Casalguidi,
Chatham, Kent is the place. I don't think I had this info when I posted the message. I look forward to any information you might be able to find.
Cheers,
Julie

That's them!! Thanks very much. I didn't expect that Hannah was married by then, her husband was Daniel BURROWS, my husband's gg grandfather. The date discrepancy is quite substantial, but I have estimated that based on later censuses and so it may not be accurate. It is interesting that her father was a Seaman - perhaps this is how she met her husband (who was a master mariner).
Thanks for the link - that may prove quite useful.
Thanks again ;D

Hi,
The family are listed in the 1871 as follows:
Susannah Chapman, Head, W, 56, Annituant, Chatham
Hannah M Burrows, Daughter, W, 24, Machinist, Chatham
Susannah A Burrows, Granddaughter, 9, Sheerness
Matthew M Burrows, Grandson, 7, Sheerness
George E Fullagar, Visitor, 24, Carpenter, Chatham
Constitution Hill, Gillingham, Chatham
RG10/911 Pg 15
Has Hannah's name been transcribed correctly? She's a bit young to have a 9 year old daughter?!
Regards, Emma ;)

Thanks Emma,
The information is interesting!! I wonder why Daniel is listed as single. He certainly could be the right person. I think I have found him in 1881 - married to someone else with 5 daughters!
I know that the father of Susannah Amelia BURROWS (as listed in 1871) was Daniel James BURROWS, and her mother was Hannah Maria. Perhaps Hannah took his name and declared herself a widow in 1871 because they had "separated". I have yet to find any record of her marriage to anyone by the name of BURROWS. Some official certificates may help I think!
Perhaps being a seaman made it easy to lead a double life?
Thanks again,
Julie
