Hi Bev, Just curious as to where you live, I have to confess that although born in Leicester, once my Nan died in 1972 I had no family to stay with in the hols so Leicester is unfamiliar to me now and after moving a bit I am now in Nottingham. Hopefully will relearn Leicester a bit now. Hi Mike Thanks for that, Thomas Powell is the name of Mary Ann Warren's father, is there not a head of the household at no.26 and why does it say visitor 18 mths? (you had better pop 2 prozac) Where do you think Fredrick Warren 3 is ??? No. 26 stays in the family as later this is where the Worris' are looking after William, Susannah and Martha (none of whom have married) and 2 of the Warren children Elaine

Greeting's Again Elaine..... Passes over the big jar of " Prozac's "..... Re:- Visitor 18 Months. In the column " Relationship to Head " = Visitor. In The Column " Age" = 18 Months. JD..... The Family was spead over the two Houses confirmed by the Census oblique slashes \\ = end and start of Houshold. \ = change of surname / or another Familyof the same name within the hosehold. hope that clears that one up ? " Giz us me prozac's back M'Duck " ....lol :0))) MIKE.

Hi Mike Hoping to catch you for a look up in 1861 again. Am following my Warrens around and am looking for an Alfred Robinson 25 who maybe married to a Sophia 22, they seem to have taken over the house in Foundry Road, this is the house you found on the 1861 census with 2 families next to each other. They are both from Leicester and stay within St. Margarets parish. Not sure if Sophia is a Powell! Her full name is Sophia Maria, middle name is missed off one census. Elaine

Thanks Mike, Definately the same people I was looking at in 1871, all has me intrigued as they are living apart in 1891, sister is next door and husband down the road. Perhaps this will be my skeleton, all has been uncomplicated up to now!!! Elaine
