Julie,

The original handwritten census shows that the SMITHs and ARSCOTTs were two
separate households in the same building. (These marked divisions have
usually been ignored in the CD version.)

In cases like the ARSCOTTs where husbands were away at the time of the
census, the local St Mary Major enumerator recorded no Head of household.

Dear "Listeners",

1851 Census:
Address Sun Street: Exeter St. Mary Major

Thomas Smith Head 33 Taylor
Mary A. Smith Wife 30 Shoe binder
Mary A. Alford Lodger 20
Ellen Arscott Wife 39
Charles Arscott Son 12

Would Ellen be the wife of Thomas, perhaps common law wife or.....? Your
help would be appreciated: Thank you once again.

Julie (WADE nee ABDEY)
