Hello Jane, Many thanks, this is excellent research. I really do appreciate your taking the time during your lunch break to look this up for me. The #6 is correct according to the birth record. The name Eugenie , I think must be Sarah Jane. She was born on March the 21 1871. Matilda was my great grandmother. This information from you deserves a pat on the back :)) Should you have time to spare . I would love to see a copy of this record. The BRANNON name is interesting, seeing as he is a Gold Beater and his wife is from Manchester. I wondered if she might have been a sister to my John ATKIN. John had a sister named Mary born in Manchester in 1847. ( I know this is really speculating) <grin> I have come across other Gold Beaters in other branches of this family. Its strange how the census taker would mark some as born in England and one born in Manchester. My best wishes in your own search.
