Thanks for all that info.
vera not sure about the family.
richard/vera 1891 census is correct.
ricochet not sure about father, wonder who dorothy is as age gap is big
christine/riochet could be a possibe, catherines name spelt with a K & age is out a few years
cassidy thanks for you info.
Still not sure & more confused now.

Dorothy in 1841 could be a daughter............

Don't put too much emphasis on spelling (as in Catherine)...........literacy was even poorer then than it is now.
And there's a child Margaret with them.................

Ages were not always accurate

Having said all that, you are wise to be cautious.......too many people jump to conclusions without checking things thoroughly.
