That doesn't mean they are the same families, or that children from the same family weren't born in different villages. 1861 England Census Name: J French Age: 11 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1850 Relation: Pauper Gender: Male Where born: Milcomb, Oxfordshire, England Civil Parish: Neithrop Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Oxfordshire Country: England Street address: Banbury Union Workhouse.
