Would SKS have a go at reading a Census return for me?

Charles Robeson (should be Robinson) 43, fish hawker born Gosport Hants
Mary Ann wife 45 born Westbourne Hants

They are living at 2 something Court. Portsea.

The last two entries look like a Mary with a daughter Mary but they are of real interest to me

Many thanks

Jan

Thanks Rose.

These are all 'mine' but the Moons have given false returns but hey, what else would we expect!

The address is still a problem but I'll post another message to see if anybody has old street names

Many thanks

This would seem to possibly be grandmother Mary's marriage.....

Perhaps Mary A was her daughter before Mary ( senior) married Charles, so Mary J is grandaughter of Mary,- now Robinson, and therefore step grandaughter of Charles.
