Additional Information

This has proved a most difficult family to analyse. To begin with they had a lot of children spread over 24 years; several of the boys have very similar names - Edward Thomas Henry, Thomas Henry, George Edward - and they swapped names when reporting to the census enumerators! In the 1871 census, for instance, Edward Thomas Henry was called Edward, Thomas Henry was called Henry, and Charles Frederick was called Frederick, and George Edward was nowhere to be seen. I am now reasonably certain, with the help of the GRO that confirmed both Edward Thomas Henry and Thomas Henry are two separate people and they both had a mother named BROCKWELL, that I have the correct names in the correct order.

In the 1851 Census, George and Mary Ann were living at Knowle Green, Staines, and George, having been a carpenter when he married in 1849, had become a Railway Porter.

In 1861, they were living in Knowle Green with their children and with nephew John Bri[o]ckwell aged 13.

At the time of the 1871 census they were still living in Staines, but George died in 1880 and at the time of the 1881 census Mary Ann was living at the Hope Beer House, Richmond, keeper of the beerhouse, with Charlotte, Herbert and Amy.

In the 1901 census, Mary Ann was living in Hove SSX with new husband Alfred BONIFACE and a servant. She had married builder Alfred in 1893 in Steyning RD, and he died in 1904, aged 75. In 1911, she was still living in Hove, with daughter Amy Bertha.
