There appears to be 2 families in 1861 with almost the same names and both fathers are Carpenters ! confusing ,
Edit : Thought I was going loopy ! The census with Emily aged 3 on is the 1871 census , not 1861!
-
Thanks trish and Jan, I'll take some time out to sort this one :)

OOps, Blanche was 2 and yes I put 1861 instead of 1871 Census :-[

I am interested in this couple: Henry Grant HORSWILL and Ann ROBERTS, in particular Ann (born circa 1799, London Surrey). Does anyone know if her parents are mentioned at their marriage in 1822? I think she may have been my ggg.grandfather's sister.
Cheers
