Hi Tony, The following is what I can decipher from the census (its not that clear!). Address : Carlton Road, Allen Yard? Charles C Beardshaw; Head; Married; 29; Steel Merchant; Yorks Sheffield Malisa V " ; Wife; 23; no occupation; Ireland Charles " ; Son; 8; Scholar; Sheffield, Yorks Reginald? M V " ; Son?; 1 month; Attercliffe Albert " ; Brother; unmarried; 21; Surgical Instrument ???; Yorks Sheffield (can't read) ; Servant; unmarried; 24; Head Servant; Notts? Sophia ??????? ; Servant; unmarried; 19; Head Servant; Attercliffe, Yorks Note that the index suggests Maria whereas it looks to me like there's a 'L' in there so I went for Malisa. I'll assume the middle initials in the index are correct but I had trouble deciphering them!
