Hi again Greg Just had another look. Its definitely sister in law and definitely Hannah. It looks like she might be John's wife. She is a fashion cutter isn't she? Lynne

The relationship of the others after the head,are normally their relationship to the head. So I would say Mary Mellitt is mother of Mary Mooney?John Mellitt is brother of Mary Mooney and Hannah Mellitt relationship says sister in law(her being married to john).I guess Mary the head was a Mellitt before she married a Mooney? As for hannahs occupation,cant make out the first word,but second looks like cutter Anna :-)

I think you are correct, it does look like sister-in-law. No more .tif's in future, I think I will convert them to jpg's!! Cheers

Hello, I have an image from the census here: http://www.antiquark.org/images/family/census/smThomasMooneyMaryMellitt.TIF Or here for a slightly larger one: http://www.antiquark.org/images/family/census/ThomasMooneyMaryMellitt.TIF I was wondering if some can tell me the marrital staus of Harriet Melliet at house #6. It looks like "dishwasher" to me :) I think her mother "Mary Mellitt" is the mother of the head of the house "Mary Mooney". Underneath Mary Mellitt, ther is a brother called Thomas who is about 32 years younger? Could it be the brother of a household member? Also, any idea on the occupation for Harriet? Thanks for looking! Any comments? Cheers
