Now how impressive is that!

Thank you.
It explains the two Edwards in 1871, turns out one is an Edwin, much more sensible!
I think you must be right about the money , the Harloes weren't well off in the grand scheme of things but they don't appear to have been that poor either, their father John worked as a Customs Officer all his life from what I can see. I was a bit stunned when I found Michael in the workhouse in 1881, but the link you gave me explained things a bit better, especially when he seems to have died the next year.
I found Ann's death on the FreeBMD in 1902
All Ann's previous children too, an unexpected surprise, will look for her marriage on FreeBMD, maybe with the maiden name of Norman.
Now looks as though I will have to brave the Irish system to find John Harloe somewhere in Ireland born abt 1799.
I can't thank you enough Ambly, you have been terrific.
