Well Chris, was she living there or just there on that particular night when the census was taken? I have lots of kids with uncles and aunties and so on, living just down the road from their parents but staying with their relatives that particular night. |

This situation wasn't uncommon. My great grandparents had thirteen children. Between 1896 and 1905 they had eight ........ yes, that's eight in nine years. |
