Additional Information

In 1861, Alfred was still alive and living with Mary Ann and children Emily and Alice. I'm not sure where young Albert was at this time, as it does not appear that he died in infancy. Also living with the family in Wantage is Selina LOVELOCK, Mary Ann's unmarried sister. Alfred died sometime around 1870, and the 1871 census shows Mary Ann alone with seven children, the youngest only 6 months old.

In 1881, Mary Ann is still a widow, living in Belmont Terrace Wantage with William, Florence, and Selina together with an illegitimate granddaughter, Alice [presumably Selina's child]. In 1881, Albert had moved to Chelsea, and was an engine driver; Clara was described and an Annuitant and was living with her uncle, Jesse KNIGHT, in Guildford, SRY. This is presumably one of the sons of Grace RAMPTON [nee HARMSWORTH] and James KNIGHT, half brother to Alfred.

In 1891, only Florence was left in Wantage, living wuth Martin Henry McGRATH, Alice's firstborn. Although Florence's birth was registered as Ellen Florence Gertrude, she married as Florence Gertrude, and was named on some censes as Florence and some as Gertrude. Similarly, Alice's birth was registered as just Alice, but when she married, both marriages were registered as Alice Constance.

In 1901, Mary Ann was working as a Monthly Nurse in the Household of Mr ASHE, in Acton MDX; in 1911 she was still living with the ASHE family, as a Nurse/Boarder.
