???????? Not saying she's single to be able to work possibly. CAn't see another Charlotte Wilson born Norfolk in 1841.

When did (husband) John die ?
Blow! - ? 1852 Aylsham aged 59 but maybe he was unable to work by then

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Newton Road, Paddington, Kensington, London, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Richard Miller Head Married Male 47 1804 Merchant Agricultural Islington, Middlesex, England
Barbara E Miller Wife Married Female 36 1815 - Norfolk, England
Henry W Miller Son - Male 3 1848 - Peckham, Surrey, England
Sarah L Lloyd Sister In Law Unmarried Female 34 1817 Annuitant Norfolk, England
Charlotte Wilson Servant Unmarried Female 63 1788 House Serv Booton, Norfolk, England
Celia Rowen Servant Unmarried Female 17 1834 House Serv London, Middlesex, England

Booton is just East of Reepham

Hi ArgyllGran

I don't know exactly when husband John died.

I was hoping the 1851 census would reveal whether or not she was a Widow.

I have just discovered that son John married in 1847.....so possibly not with mother Charlotte in 1851.

Chris.......Thanks to you, i have got the hang of FreeReg now so i have that information thank you.

;-)
