Help with a conundrum needed! One member of my tree is shown on the 1881 Census as being on the staff of the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley; she is listed under her married name of Troy (she was only recently married), and is a Housekeeper. What I can't understand is why listed with her, is her 70 year old widowed mother. Did this mean Isabella Troy had accommodation on the premises, and her mother was allowed to live with her? And do any staff records from the hospital still exist? The second part of my query relates to Isabella's husband, an Irishman named Richard Troy. On the 1881 Census he is shown as being at his employers' home, the Hurst family of Redbridge Lane, Millbrook. Mr Henry Hurst was a retired farmer. Richard himself was not only Henry's 'attendant', but also a Chelsea Pensioner. If there is anyone out there researching the Hurst family, they might have an old photograph, showing Richard and other staff. Very many thanks. Margaret
