[ii] Possibly T.F.K.
[iii] a person who sells small items door-to-door or from a stall
[iv] Possible a daughter from a previous marriage of Patricks.
[v] Possibly a mistake or misunderstanding here. If there was only one surviving child, aged 17, she could not have three children to provide the 3 grandchildren listed. Possibly the grandchildren were the children of a child of Michaels from a previous marriage?
[vi] a person who sells small items door-to-door or from a stall
[vii] Her husband was likely to be Edward, who was listed as being the landholder. He was probably just not in the house at the time of the census.
[viii] Although all were listed as being able to read and write, it is unlikely that Mary Anne could at the age of 1 year.
[ix] Anthony was only 11 months old so unlikely he was a scholar.
[x] Thomas and John were possibly step sons given that they had a different surname.
[xi] Possible that Michael and Patt were sons of Myles from a previous marriage judging by the age of Bridget.
[xii] Most likely a “Thatcher”.
