I would be grateful if anyone could give me a hand reading the names on this 1841 census.
There are two sets:
The last six names on the bottom of the right hand page, I can read Simon Sands (40) and Ann Sands (40) but cannot read the childrens names.

Also on left hand page 8 names from the bottom looks like another set of Sands:- Joseph (40) and Catherine (40), would you agree the surname could be Sands as they do not show up on searches.

I don't think some of the spellings are right but think they say:-

Jessey
Pressila
Joseph
Elija

Don't know whether you have this but on the next image on Ancestry is the rest of the family:-

Ann age 10
Martha age 6
John age 4
Mary Cryer age 65

Yes, the other family does look like Sands

Can't find a christening record for Pressila, but the name could be spelt completely differently. I've tried all variations I can think of. I'm sure she would have been christened as it looks like she and Joseph might have been twins.
