That is definitely my family. I had found that particular census before. Do you know the exact date of the census? I am trying to determine if Jane was born in 1855 or 1854. I had down Apr 24, 1855 but I found a Jane Russell Spence, christened June 6, 1854 in Lylehill, Antrim, Ireland and wondered if it was her - meaning she would be born in 1854. I was hoping that someone had access to the 1861 and 1871 Censuses as William Robert should be with his first wife on those. Of course, I am ultimately trying to find out both Jane and William's parents. Thanks so much for looking that up for me.
