Title: 1841 census. Completed
Post by: mauricej on Wednesday 11 December 13 14:55 GMT (UK)
On the 1841 census, HO 107 / 904 / book 4 / folio 4 / page 2, I have Watkin Watkin, aged 45, a timber merchant; (transcribed as Walker Watkin) with his wife Sarah, 45, their children Elizabeth, 25, and Thomas, 15.

There is then a fifth name in this entry which I can't make out. Can anyone tell me what it is ?

Thank-you,

Maurice
