Caroline wife 1859 Sedgley
Florance Eliz Darby dau no age
but born as Florence Elizabeth Darbey 1880

They are living with Carolines parents

Also can someone please trace this Alfred back through the earlier census. Its possible there are 2 of them.Mine was born 17/11/1859 no father mother Ann Elizabeth Darbey Burden who married Edward Lester 16/8/1861.
I have another GR member who has different parents for Alfred Darbey so we are trying to sort it out

Thank you

I wonder if the William Darby on the 1861 census is actually Martha's brother and not her son - William Danks who was 2 years old in 1851 census.
