Nathan senior is in all the census to 1911.
He died in Lexden reg district in 1917.

I know John Galloway's occupation is shown as a French polisher like his father.

I noticed the additional Welham names in the 1861 census four boys not in the 1871 census. (Stripling unusual name?)
Then the addition in 1871 of Alice and Herbert Welham.

Same situation with the Galloway name and its various spellings.??

?? Wondering about this for John in 1841. In Langham. An Ag. Lab at this stage, maybe before he learnt to Smithy?

and a William age 15 a few doors down, also an Ag. Lab

By posting on the thread, your replies get to the helpers the same way as your original question did, so everyone can see them.

The spellings of the surname will all be a corruption of the same name - written as it was heard or transcribed from how it was seen on the original.

Great. :-)

Yes, posting on the thread as you have done, means we can all read your message.

Hi, certainly never seen the names Burrow/Barrow or Barrell.

Thank you to all for this information..much appreciated.

Hope this get to each of you?
