	Oh, I have plenty of that in our family. I even managed to locate 'Barsterdry Court' records for one off ours in 1852 to prove who the father was. Also recently found out my Gt, Gt, Gt Grandmother was in the London County Lunatic Asylum in 1901 .....families eh !

	Yes the 1871 census is correct. George Mayson is my relative. He was married three times in all, so it has been a journey sorting out his wifes (Maria who was married before) and all his children. Thx
