In the 1841 census I have Robert Strong born abt 1806 and his wife Sarah (nee Ashman). Living with them in St George, Gloucestershire (Bristol) where they were born is Eliza aged 9, Harriett 10 and John 2.
When I go into the image there is also somebody Ashman aged 80 living with them. I looked at this months ago and came to the conclusion it could be Angle??? then gave up!!
Could some one have a look and see what you think. This person must be a relative of Roberts wife Sarah
Thanks

It looks very clearly written as Angle Ashman 80. All the letters match with other letters on the page in other words.
It usually turns out to be the mother in law. Do you know who Sarah's mother was?
