On that 1881 Cheshire household, Tracey -- whaddaya think of this in 1861?


Name: Ellen Johnson
Age: 26

The practice of naming one's grandfather as one's father when one married, if one's parents weren't married, was hardly uncommon!

Also in 1861:

>> Civil Parish: Liverpool
Ecclesiastical parish: St Catherine

ED, institution, or vessel: 18f
Household schedule number: 93

Annie Johnson 8
John Murphy 51
Caroline Reeve 40

(Heh. John Murphy was a lodger in 1861. Now he's "head".)


So that's not the same Annie as Janice has in 1871 with mother Ellen, after all ...
