Commentary

From various other records, including 1861 & 1871 census returns, there is little doubt concerning the identity of this Henry Reeves. The place of birth is correct, but he has under reported his age by about 14 years.

Their daughter Caroline Reeves was visiting her maternal grandmother at the time of the 1851 census.

There is no known family relationship to their visitor Sarah A KERSLEY
