This one was not easy to find -
1871 Census, RG10-1253-78-16, Kinterbury, Berkshire

Erenia Hughes  1     Pewsey, Wiltshire, England     Daughter         
Sarah Hughes  21    Bentley, Hampshire, England   Head               

The Silas is Silas Bland born 1852 (have cert) died St Austell 1925, buried at Biscovery, Par on the 20 Jul 1925, I was unable to find a burial for Sarah Hughes, the PR's after 1925 seem to be water damaged and difficult and in some cases impossible to read, I did not find a Headstone for either of them!
5 of Sarah's sons enlisted in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry on  the same day in 1915.

RG10-1253-71-2 Kintbury, Berkshire has Matilda Hughes on the image and if you compare the children with Martha Hughes in the 1881 census you will find that some of them appear to be the same children.

The above information is a mixture of my own research and that of 2 other family members.

Hi Deb,

What I have on the Page family is very fragmented, I have a James & Charlotte Page in the 1871 census at Bridgwater. Amos Page who married Fanny Cooper in 1870 his father was James.
John Page married to Clara Smith who had a daughter Betsy baptised at Boldre 31st March 1891, but seem to be in the 1891 census, RG12-893-120-34 Brading, Isle of Wight. but the young daughter is called Mary.

I feel that they are all related it is just a case of finding the connection.

Thank you for your help.

John

Hope this will help -
