Hi Frek and Ricky
The Amon family you list for 1871 totally dumbfounded me, as a possible surname alternative to Almond. My ancestor was born in 1849 to Caroline Almond, who married that same year; William Eldridge, and was listed as his son; Jonathan Eldridge, (age: 1) in the 1851 Census. There were older siblings - so there may have been a previous marriage which I hope to find.
Another occurence of the name, spelled "Amon" refers to the wife of another ancestor, so I shall consider both spellings in future.
