Jess. Thanks for finding the May couple on the previous look up. I am really confused now and probably having an 'over 50' moment. In 1861 William E Hawton is head of the household born 1830 and Ann May born 1808 is his mother. William May born 1808 is his father in law. In 1871 William May is the head of the household, with Ann as his wife and William Hawton is the son in law. Wouldn't Ann be his mother in law and if she was his mother, wouldn't William May be his father?? What do you reckon?? Thanks. Jan

hi Jess John Hume had a son named Frederick Elliot Hume born c 1859 and marred in 1890 at age 31 and down as bachelor it is his marriage cet i got the address from allen

I think the one you found in leicester is your best bet, was her mothers name Anna by any chance? this person (a teacher) lives in the same household Anna M Murphy abt 1852 Ireland None Leicester formerly St Margaret Leicestershire
