Hi Maria, it looks like it is a school, children on next page are all scholars. I take it this is Mary? Cannot see Phoebe.

Hi Kieth Thanks for confirmation I was not sure as I don't have next page and magnifying glass did not help much. Thanks Marie

Hi, I think the 1 house unoccupied is meant to be before this. It does say ..... House, can't read the first bit. Think it must be some sort of school as adults are all either teachers/assistants other than servants and all children, as said before, are scholars. Mary Heritage Age: 27 Estimated birth year: abt 1824 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Margate, Kent, England Civil parish: Margate St John The Baptist Ecclesiastical parish: Trinity Town: Margate County/Island: Kent Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Thanet Sub-registration district: Minster ED, institution, or vessel: 18 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 2 Household Members: Name Age Phoebe Abbott 11 Molden Bayfield 5 Eliza Bowden 8 Liary Bowden 6 Clara Child 14 Eliza Crawley 9 Mary Dennett 8 Kate Farois 9 Eliza Goring 35 Rosa Goring 14 Martha Hart 8 Mary Heritage 27 Sarah Heritage 23 Matilda Holland 9 Jane Holliday 18 Elizabeth Jezzard 28 Phoebe Jezzard 50 Sarah Jezzard 29 Rosy Johnstone 9 Alice Jones 12 Eliza Jones 9 Fanny Jones 10 Grace Jones 10 Eliza Ladger 10 Mary Lewis 10 Susan Lowe 8 Mary MacArthur 12 Caroline Marsland 8 Jane Marsland 9 Mary Paice 14 Emily Pasco 11 Fanny Peake 9 Lizzy Peake 8 Betsey Perry 11 Charlotte Perry 11 Ann Price 8 Jane Sheldon 20 Rose Williams 7 Tom Willis 5

I thought it said Crescent House. If you Google search for Crescent House Margate.... you get a 'hit' mentioning Thanet private schools. Gwyn
