I would really appreciate some assistance in deciphering some names written by an enumerator with awful handwriting.

1861 Census
RG number: RG09 Piece: 346 Folio: 77 Page: 16

Lambeth Address:
104, Upper Stamford Street, St Mary Lambeth, Lambeth County:
London, Surrey

The family is headed by George Treadwell.
His wife's name is Matilda, not Elizabeth (which FMP transcribed her as!)

Sorry, Kiterunner, brain malfunction!

Thanks, Kiterunner, I don't need the lodgers.

I think one of the girls is Alma. She appears later with brother Alfred.

1871
Alfred is a tailor and head.
He has George with him who is given as a Lunatic aged 21 brother
Alma is there and also
Minnie sister 8 Lunatic

What a lot to cope with, poor lad.

Thanks, Kiterunner, they might be relevant as there is a Fanny WIlson with them on the 1871 census.
