Additional Information : Address on 1851 Census is 102 Brookside, Belper, in 1862 they are at Nuns Place, William Street, Derby, in 1871 they are at 15 Corah Street, Leicester, and in 1881 at 23 Duns Lane Leicester (but the ages are given wrongly for Mary, Henry and Samuel in the latter instance).
As can be seen from the children's birthplaces, this family moved around a bit!
