Thanks, will wait till I receive her marriage certificate but I think Kate and Caroline are one and the same person. Ages are 10years apart between the censuses and siblings are the same (apart from there being more in the second one!). Thanks for confirming what I had been wanting to think! Karen x |

Good point, Lindsey. I have heard that there were very lazy employers around who couldn't be bothered to learn the names of their new servants. So if their last housemaid was called Elizabeth and you happened to be named Florence, they might call you "Elizabeth" because it saved them the inconvenience of having to learn a new name. |

Sounds like a transcription error to me. |
