This is really strange because this Eliabeth has a sister Caroline who is about the right age to be the Caroline Minns on the 1891 census.

On the 1901 census I put up Elizabeth is married and not a widow so Frederick must be somewhere. I wonder if the mother Caroline Sherwood had remarried and the children were down as Sherwood instead of Smith??????????

I have now looked up the 1871 census for Robert Sherwood and this is it.

Aha!!!! the 1881 census reveals ALL.


This should have the head of the house on it and guess who he is??????
Yes your right Robert Sherwood. Then Caroline Smith unmarried with daughters Amelia and Elizabeth, Caroline must have already married John Minns.

The mother Caroline is a Silk Winder same as other census and I think the address is the same.
