If she is James's daughter then perhaps her mother married/lived with another man after James's transportation & she has that surname in 1861. 1871: Name: Annie Chowney Age: 13 Estimated birth year: abt 1858 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Woking, Surrey, England Civil parish: Woking Town: St John County/Island: Surrey Country: England Street address: 1 Burgoyne Cottage Occupation: domestic servant Registration district: Guildford Sub-registration district: Woking ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 79 Household Members: Name Age Ebenezer Smith 30 - civil servant Chorlotte Smith 30 Ebenezer Smith 5 Mabel Smith 10 months Annie Chowney 13 I can't find a possible Henry until 1901!
