It would be appreciated if someone could do a lookup in 1861 and give an opinion on what it says. The property is in Long Wyre Street in Colchester. I can read James Piper, Lodger Mar 66 Itinerant Bookseller Essex….. I am interested in the group of people bracketed below him (ending with Elizabeth Richardson aged 13 Opinions on what it says appreciated (Surnames are Croft/Nurse if that helps. If anyone can find John Taylor in 1851 that would be a bonus…. Thanks Peter

Hi Peter This is what it looks like to me. Ann Croft, Lodger, Mar, 35, Charwoman Ann Nurse, Daur, UnMar, 9 , Essex Colchester Richard Nurse, Son, UnMar, 5, Essex Colchester Agnes? Croft Daur UnMar, 2, Essex Colchester John Taylor. Lodger, UnMar, 11, Essex Colchester Elizabeth Richardson Visitor, 13 The other place of birth is a town that starts with 'B' and appears to end in 'SEA'. I hope this helps ...Paul

Update - just had a look at the image Address looks like Colchester Arms Inn, Magdalen St Maria Taylor is listed as unmarried and a tailoress - born Essex, Layer ??? John is listed as tailors son Both are listed as lodgers Maureen

The B....sea word that paul mentioned is Brightlingsea in Essex. Merry

I think that the Amelia ? that Paul mentions is Agnes. That's also what the transcription has it as but with a double 's'.:- Agness Croft 2 Ann Croft 35 Ann Nurse 8 Richard Nurse 5 James Piper 66 Sarah Piper 65 Eliza Pretty 20 Maria Pretty 58 Mary Hannah Pretty 16 Elizabeth Richardson 13 John Taylor 2 Kath. x

Thankyou Agnes should be Agnes (I have her birth cert. Elizabeth Richardson is Ann's Neice The Taylor connection is going to be somewhat harder to work out Thanks again Peter
