Thanks- Widow I guess coz she married on sept 1861 and then is living with her sister in 1871 ???

David

David Report 20 Feb 2010 22:36

I believe it could be Jones, as on the 1871 census I mentioned it is mistranscribed.

If you actually look at the extract Julia seems to be looking after 3 Crosby children 2 from Exmouth.

There is a note under her Relation: mother a widow?
