Can anyone please help, I have looked up the 1891 census and I have found where great grandmother lived in Mansfield and stumbled upon information that the way she met my great grandfather was they lived next door!!!!! Great finding!!! But my gr grandad was born in Ruskington and moved to mansfield with his sisters and mum, but his mum remarried and had another child and I cannot read the surname, it is driving me mad. As my great grandad had a step sibling, I just want to know, the address is readable but it is the surname, Help anyone, as it stumping a line of my family tree as the mother is just Jane unknown!

Hi Reggie

My grandfather was William Kelley, b 1878
sisters Sarah b 1880
Lily, b 1886
His mother was jane and was married to William and there was another sibling, that is the surname I cannot read and cannot read the firstname of the sibling or age. When I did a search on William on the 1891 census it didn't come up, so my search was from Anne Wetton, b 1878 all dates are approximate.
