Hi Sue

SARAH Sellers would be around 60 in 1871 and there was no son George on the 1861 census - do you have the correct family?

[jamajo]

        Nice work Tazzie, i was hoping they were the same family.

        Wonder if we can find out about the George.

            Sue

[jamajo]

    Maybe they are different familys then Carol.

           Sue

I'm sure they are - it's unlikely that the 11 year old son of a druggist would be working as a servant

If you check the replies above - there is no son George on the 1861 census and you will see Sarah was 42 in 1861 and 50 in 1871 - it's therefore unlikely she would be 53 in 1871

[jamajo]

     Your right Carol, my mistake i apologize.
