?? Wondering about this for John in 1841. In Langham. An Ag. Lab at this stage, maybe before he learnt to Smithy?

1841 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Park Lane, Langham, Lexden & Winstree, Essex, England

First name(s) Last name Sex Age Birth year Birth place
Mary Wellum Female 75 1766 Essex, England
Eliza Wellum Female 20 1821 Essex, England
Charles Wellum Male 15 1826 Essex, England Ag. Lab
Mahaliel Wellum Female 14 1827 Essex, England
John Wellum Male 15 1826 Essex, England Ag. Lab

Next door is this Wellum family
John Wellum 40 Ag. Lab
Elizabeth 15
James 13
Charles 11

and a William age 15 a few doors down, also an Ag. Lab

I know John Galloway's occupation is shown as a French polisher like his father.

I noticed the additional Welham names in the 1861 census four boys not in the 1871 census. (Stripling unusual name?)
Then the addition in 1871 of Alice and Herbert Welham.
