Hi Maddie, yes that looks to be correct :-).

Thank you!

'our Rebecca' died 24.11.1931 and was recorded as 91 yrs old!

It's a bit of a complicated one - we have Louisa Horsley m Albert Jarvis 26.12.1893. We think her mother is Rebecca as we found a Louisa in 1881 with grparents Edward & Harriett. Picking this back up, we found another Louisa born around the same time (ca 1869) in the same area, with parents William & Louisa!

From the census above it appears that William & Rebecca are siblings & chose the same names for their offspring!

Louisa's marriage cert gives John Horsley dec. as father. This seems t bear out that our Louisa is the illegitimate dau. of Rebecca - would you agree?

Thanks Ann, I found the 1861 on family search. I am trying to determine if this William is a child of Edward & Harriett Horsley? I don't have full access for census records so trying to use powers of deduction!

Could somebody kindly look up William Horsley on the 1861 census. Born approx 1838, he is listed in Woodford Green. I would like to see who else is in the household. Appreciate any assistance :-)
