The address is Keppel Street I think Sarah's occupation is an abbrieviation for 'Independent'. Maybe she had a private income? The 60 year old tailer is transcribed as Squires Salsbery (I think the Squires is right but not sure about the surname). I think that only the Gribble's are in the Gribble household. Sarah Thomas and the Proudfoot's are in the next household. Kath. x

The address is Kepple Street and Sarah's occupation looks like IND for independant, still working on the tailors name. The Tailors surname looks like Salsbery but he is not part of your family. This is the Tailor.... Sarah Salsbery abt 1791 Norfolk, England All Saints South Gate Norfolk Squires Salsbery abt 1781 Norfolk, England All Saints South Gate Norfolk Georgina.

Hi all, Thanks for that - I assumed they were all together because I couldn't see a mark, but what you say makes more sense, although a 30 year old dressmaker with 3 kids aged 13,11 and 9 would probably be gald of neighbours! Mark
