Commentary

It is suspected that William's age has been incorrectly recorded. Around 39 would be more consistent with his baptism, but he seems to be inconsistent with his age across successive census returns.

The census enumeration clearly shows daughter Emma's name as Emmer (sic). This spelling is consistent with that used on page 36 for another Emma of this family group. The given name of the youngest daughter is hard to decipher, but would match their daughter Louisa by age and place of birth.

The birth places are written as Belcham St Pauls rather than with the modern spelling of Belchamp St Pauls
