Having nothing better than housework to do, I just had another search through the census! Just in case Samuel and Martha CROSS were, indeed, Caroline's parents, I see that they, too, moved from Devon to Somerset, and in 1851 they were living at Yeovil (like their son, John). The household was: 1851 census Yeovil Marsh, Yeovil, Somerset Samuel CROSS, Head, Mar, 75, Dairyman, South Leigh, Devon Martha CROSS, Wife, Mar, 70, Farway, Devon Elizabeth CROSS, Dau, 40, South Leigh, Devon Thomas TUCKER, Serv, 14, Ash, Somerset In 1841, Samuel and Martha were living at Milborne Port, Somerset: 1841 census Kingsbury, Milborne Port, Somerset Samuel CROSS, 65, Dairyman, N Martha CROSS, 60, N Elizabeth CROSS, 30, N Charlotte CROSS, 20, Y Samuel EDWARDS, 15, MS, Y I do think there has to be a very strong probability that this is Caroline's family. Best wishes, Sue
