Jon, the image isn't clear, but it looks as if Thomas has a middle initial, could be interpreted as W, and this has got attached to the surname, causing the confusion. Perhaps the surname is supposed to be Foxhall, but the F looks like T (the family next door has Fs in the names, and are not quite the same) and the x is perhaps ss. Whitehall is stretching it a bit as a transcription I'd have thought. Tosshall or Fosshall seem more likely, looking at the handwriting.

Head of house is Thomas, which was her father's name, and his age is correct too. Esther has an illeg son Henry Albray Foxhall in June 1869 and there is a Henry A Whitehall aged 1 in this household I've found. Esther also had a sister Charlotte and there's a Charlotte of approx correct age there too. Could someone kindly check the image for me please to see if it is indeed Foxhall not Whitehall? Also, could I ask for the household address and any occupations recorded please? > > The Ref is: > RG10; Piece: 1150; Folio: 136; Page: 12; GSU roll: 827790. > > Very many thanks in advance, > > Jon >
