Hi again,
Thank you all very much for your replies.
I will make a couple more postings so that we can then exchange personal messages.
I am intrigued as to the documented addresses on the census' 1861,1871 and 1891. They just say 'on the common' .
Does any one know if this means there were houses on the common or were the families in some form of temporary accommodation on the common?
Jo
