On the 1851 census, if you type in Rebecca Stephenson born in Idle it brings up one entry. On this entry Rebecca is living with her daughter, Mary, and Mary's husband. His first name can't be read because the paper is torn, but can anyone decipher his surname? Thanks, Joanne.

Kath, Got to agree as I thought at first it was Jones. Did wonder if it could be Innes Maureen
