I found another CHOIRON in the 1851 census -- a 75 year old woman, who was also born in France (no first name given).. She was the grandmother of the head of the family, Alfred LAURIN. Alfred and his immediate family were all born in France, and were employed in "dining rooms" . The family grouping includes a number of other individuals who are waiters, many of them also from France. They lived at 51 Gracechurch in St Benet Gracechurch (civil parish) in London.

Thanks. At the moment I can't prove the link but will go to genealogie.com when I get time and see if Alfred is lurking there. I was unsure whether CHOIRON was her surname or first name. In France it's more normal to have married women enumerated under their maiden name (apart it seems in Marseille where they weren't unless the surname and the maiden name of the women I recently found was the same)! Complications, complications and a busy working week, frustrating.
