Dear list many thanks to Joyce David and Gloria for the 1841 information that is a real help. Especially I must thank Gloria for also providing the 1861 census for the parents - I had not found that either. I must admit I find it quite confusing sometimes to marry up the families in the different census as quite often the clues - D o B, age, where born and family members seem to almost be different for each census. As the two eldest girls are missing I guess I must assume they are working and living elsewhere in 1841 but had returned home in 1851 still unmarried. Not unreasonable now that it has been pointed out. It is so great to have such a large amount of knowledge residing in this list and also the great willingness to be willing to take time to share it.
