Thanks to Vicki and John LEWIS for their comments. I can only think that, as Vicki suggests, George BRIDGMAN must have been enumerated twice, unless anyone can find another person of that name and age of whom I am so far unaware. I have no idea why George and his sister Alice should be boarding with Thomas COOPER - as John points out, the family relationship is rather distant. Yet another of life's little mysteries!
