looking at the enumeration district it seems to be the Whole of Pottery street. No house nos. given, The occupation is difficult to decipher but seems to be the same as the son Ralph.Looks like 'lathlander man' whatever that can be. Writing is very flourished. Shirley

Linda, it looks to me as if Thomas Leather is the husband of Esther (Daughter of Henry & Mary, ie formally Taylor), he is recorded as Step son, this is sometimes used instead of In Law, the same applies for Robert Stowell and Alice, James is the son of Robert and Alice, therefore the grandson of Henry and Mary!! Robert and Thomas are canal boatmen. Hope this makes sense Keith
