Actually, Mike, the death was March quarter 1870.

1871 not 81

Philip Gratton 38
Caroline Gratton 36
John Gratton 8
Richard Gratton 6
Edward Gratton 3
Pricilla Gratton 8 Months


1871 census was the night of 2 April 1871

so the death in March Quarter 1871 for Phillip looks suspicious.
It has been known for widows to falsify their status if losing the breadwinner meant losing their rented house.
My Gt Grandmother did just that.

Her father's death before she was born? But how could he be on the 71 census?
