That's them! Thanks so much. I wish I knew who her family was. She is my great grandmother (John Hosking is my grandfather) and has been a real brick wall. Actually, her name was Mary Ann, not Mariam. Thanks again. Where did you go to check the census?

I could not find a Mary Ann Hosking but this could be a transcription error or maybe she used the name Mariam. Could this be the right family?
