N.B. Upwell in most cases means Brimstone Hill before 1865 & Christchurch after 1865 when the church was built.
Christchurch then, as now, is covered by the Sub-Registration district of Upwell.

When I got my own copy of the 1891 Census for Christchurch, I found that George, and his elder son, John, were
Enumerator's for the Christchurch part of the Census!

Hannah died 9 November 1908 and was buried at Christchurch Parish Church on 14 November 1908 - next to her
little grand daughter, Kate who'd died at a month old in 1900.
George died 10 May 1915 and was buried at Christchurch Parish Church on 14 May 1915, next to Hannah.
