Hello Lew,

I appreciate you doing lookup for me.

Could I possibly ask a favour, would you mind looking at the image for the last entry Sarah daughter aged 7yrs. Could it have been mistranscribed, as old Sarah would have been in her mid fifties to have a child that young.

Many thanks
Helen

Thanks for that Lew,

They must have made women extra strong in those days, 12 children from 1814 to 1845.

However I have a feeling that Granny may have been covering up for one of the daughters. Lets not tell the nosey enumerator our business :-)

Appreciate you looking up 1861 census with additional info

bye Helen
