1861 Thought I had her on all but apparently not. Son Henry is recorded as born Hitchin & Coventry: the latter seems more likely as there are a couple of suitable regs, 1859/60 whilst there are none for Hitchin. Perhaps they were in transit on Census night & were missed as Henry is baptised back in Hitchin in 1862 with the next child born there.

Thanks for that Elizabeth. I'd forgotten about Eliza when I had the opportunity to look at the 1911 in Norwich last year.

That's perfect. Her husband had died in 1903, Henry was widowered in 1909 & Charles didn't marry until 1913.
