Hi Sharron,



The only one I have been able to find in 1881 is Sarah A Jensen who is a servant aged 12. Let me know if you want her exact address etc.

Hi Sharon and Starlight,



I think this is them in 1881, they've been transcribed as LEUSEN, but the original could be Jensen (what do you think Starlight) It's the same street as 1871 but a different house number.

hi Starlight, Sarah was the only one i cld find in the 1881 census was not sure if that cld be one of the children.

The only death I can find is this one.

1881 census was taken 3rd April

Hi Slizzy,



I'm glad I opened my emails. I was going through the images. Yes it does look as though it could be them. The "J" is not written like the other J's on that image but the rest of the name fits. As Sarah is on this census, the other one I found it not her then.
