Re: Eliza OATES d/o Robert Oates & Mary Thomson

1841 was the first census of use for FH purposes & filled in with pencil , I understand. The family found by
Sue sounds like yours. In the house in Queen Street, Soper Lane, St Pancras were 3 separate households a
total of 11 people. I doubt the enumerator came by 3
times to speak to 3 heads of households--I wonder if
a helpful person remembered the details & spoke for his
neighbours relying on his memory not his notes of course at that time. Annie was possibly born there.
