Hello Listers,
We haven't been to Bath for a long while, so to whom does this family belong
please and can we have further information?
For starters how about James wife. Could it be that 73 year old Ann on the
1901 census? Some parents would be good, too!

Nearby is a William who may be the other brother although the age is
slightly out and I can't find Combe Down on the map so don't know if it is near

That's it for starters. Any clarification in 1891 please Sean?
