1861 - could well be Burrows on original. Occupation of John Senior would fit with dea and safc's 1881 census find.

If correct then John was John W and according to this born locally, not Colchester, Essex. However, the other coincidence would be that the 2 boys are ? found in the Colchester workhouse in 1881.

It would also indicate that he was previously married - see next post for marriage/death

1871 from FMP

I believe that John's occupation is Fireman (there is a Frederick close to bottom of page where the F looks the same). Says born Colchester, Essex

Mary Ann is born Millbrook and I think the children are Southampton (South'ton)

Here is the family in 1871

I have tried searching for the family in 1881 but they all seem to have disappeared after the 1871 census.
