Hi, Just in case anyone is very confused with the family listed below in the 1851 census. Susan the daughter aged 22 yrs is in fact the wife of William WILLS who is recorded as the son in law aged 23 yrs. Their son John is one yr old. The rest of the children from Fanny down are all HUTCHING children, that is all of them are the children of Thomas and Frances [nee DIMENT/DIAMOND]. There has obviously been a mix up with the enumerator or maybe the transcribers.

Thanks, Bev. I have John as 16 not 6. Otherwise I agree. (I was in Beesands last Friday, hoping to buy some crab meat, but the weather had been so bad that they had not been able to go out for fish or crabs for several days!)
