I have just found Mary Pond and her sister Hannah Plowright on the 1851 Census.

What is so useful is knowing that the sisters were born in Cambridge/Cambridgeshire.
Also, I didn't know that Mary Pond was still alive!

I only found them as 22 Quebec Street was the address given in Hannah's will.

The family came from Milton in Cambridgeshire.

I have downloaded from Cambridgeshire Family History Society the transcription of the parish registers.
