Sorry folks - I have now examined the enumerators book for 1881 - It couldn't be more clearly written - Harriot but it shows she was born at Cawthorn NOT Flockton.. I think Hannah & Harriot are one and the same. Perhaps the enumerator was deaf :) Did the family have to complete a form in 1881 which the enumerator mistranscribed into his book? The two names could easily look alike if badly written.
