living somewhere Lambeth/Southwark/Kennington and very badly transcribed

Or on the run from old Septic Knuckles the rentman, and hiding behind the furniture every time they hear a knock at the door.....

Thanks goodness someone's got their thinking cap on Emily.  Well spotted!

Could they possibly have been in the workhouse in 1861?

[Paul E]

They'd still be enumerated, even if in the workhouse - but admittedly, some of the enumeration can be vague.

[Paul E]

Well...

I can find a Charlotte Mason aged 20 in the 1871 census, born Southwark and listed as 'Wife's Sister', but the wife is a Frances Carrington, born c1844 in Southwark, husband Richard.

I can't find a marriage of a Frances and a Richard Carrington.

Probably a blind alley.

You are as bad as me I have just been through Massons and Charlottes born the right year.

[Nessie]

Do we have any idea of the maiden name of Williams wife? maybe they were staying with grandparents.

[Biker]

OK just for the record this is desperate but the only Mason who is a Smith that I could find in 1861 in roughly the right area...
