Hi Sproutie and Kempie
Oh dear! Kempie! What a welcome ! The Big Red Pen

It has happened to us all - even still to some of us old hands who get nabbed occasionally when our concentration lapses.
But WELCOME - and please stay and post again

Well, I hadn't figured Sarah out from Census - but I THINK Matthew COLE in Census. Looking likew Elizabeth died btw 1837-1841:
1841: HO107/ Piece 396/ B 17/ F 6 / Pg 6
1851: HO107/ Piece: 1679/ F 275 / pg 9
frpm Sproutie:
Why would (Hori) be with them aged 13 in 1841? Did people adopt back then?
A child could be with his grandparents in Census for any of the same reasons a child today may be - staying over a night or on holiday at Granny's, living there because his parents died, etc - and it was also very common to farm the older kids out if the mother was busy giving birth to a new addition. The fact Hori stayed in the Selbourne area, married etc and no other Normans found there in that period, does suggest though, that Hori may have been living permanently with the KEMPs; that something had befallen his parents - or, and this did happen, either parent had remarried and the step-parent didn't accept the children from earlier marriages. Or a spouse didn't accept an illigitimate step-child of his wife.
I don't think 'adoption' was formalised back then, especially inter-family?
Because of the repeating of the Hori name in the KEMP's it is suggested that Hori's mother is the link - but it could I suppose have been that George NORMAN is the link to the KEMP's somehow.
It sounds quite feasible to me re: George NORMAN

I reckon getting carried away can often carry us exactly to where we want to be
