Frances - the image is appallingly faint and I think the John Wall aged 30 is actually another child

There's something wrong with that 1871 census. Why is 3 year old Charles listed before the others? Children are usually listed in order. Also when you look at the original John is also a son and he's also 3. There's also something written in the occupation column for 3 year old Charles but I can't make out what it says.

K Report 11 Nov 2010 17:35

I think Charles age 3 is listed as a gardener

I think you're right, K, and I think this might be the same family:
1861 census
153 Moseley Rd., Aston, Birmingham
Charles Wall, head, 31, cab driver, born Worcester
Sarah, wife, 31, born Hereford
Charles, son, 9, born Birmingham
Sarah, dau, 7, born "
Thomas, son, 1, born "
Ann, mother, widow, 69, born Herefordshire

On the 71 census Sarah was born Hereford.

Sorry to go missing for so long.

James Wall appears as a nephew in 1881 and I was hoping that finding him in 1871 might explain why he is a nephew?

Hi K. I did see Samuel James being born at the right time but he is not carrying a second name in 1881. Also census ages can be remarkably changeabe over the decades!

K

K Report 11 Nov 2010 18:55

Based on the 1881 cencus you posted you are looking for Samuel not James?

Frances

Frances Report 11 Nov 2010 18:59

Yes K. The Lloyd family are my main interest but I am unable to pinpoint either John or Hannah and think the link to Samuel Wall might be the key.
