Yes a lot of assumptions re the census.
I could relate a lot of it to mine and OH's trees.
I enjoyed it, local for me really. Staffordshire. I noticed someone, was it his great grandfather? was from Leigh, Staffs. OH's Rushton's were from there.
Alton Towers: OH's first cousin twice removed was a RC priest at Alton. We've visited the place many times even before it was a theme park.
I was very interested in his grandmother becoming a business woman in those days. My grandmother became landlady of a pub after my grandad, the licensee, died in 1934. I was told she had to get someone high up in the brewery to speak for her to get the license.
I wondered about William Roache's hair, good head of hair for a man of 80.
