There's a Jane Greengrass with the Fordes in 1851. So there's got to be a connection somewhere. It says she's a servant. I'd say she was probably housekeeping for the widowed Francis. Relatives did this all the time. |

Could Sarah Bear have been married to/living with Francis Forde before she married Charles Greengrass? |

Are you 100% sure the census entries are the same Mary Forde? |

Can someone give me a clue pls as my brain is going round in circles.. On the census between 1871 - 1891 I have Hannah L Greengrass (b1837) living with her half /step sister Mary M Forde (b1829). Hannah's parents were Charles Greengrass & Sarah Bear. I have found an 1851 census entry for Mary Forde living with her father Francis Forde in Sussex. My question is....how can these 2 girls be step/half sisters ? Thx Sue |
