4	1871 Census reveals Alfred as a draper at Twinham Green, Chiswick, Middlesex	Rankin, Alfred George (I0474)
5	1881 Census : Dick & Elizabeth living at 61 Roper Street, Oldham	Shepherd, Dick (I0189)
6	1911 Census shows Elsie employed as domestic servant/cook at the home of Alexander & Kathleen Gordon at St Helens, Isle of Wight. Nana (Elsie) also spoke about working at Carisbrooke Castle near Newport, Isle of Wight before migrating to Australia (not confirmed) Nana supported the immigration of Roy and Edith Taylor from Oldham in Lancashire where her husband George Shepherd had grown up. They migrated to Australia in 1949, possibly lived at her place in Glen Park Road, Eltham North, before building a home next door to hers. Both homes were destroyed by a bushfire in March 1965. Edith died in Heidelberg in 1969 and I believe Roy went back to his home town in Oldham, Lancashire and died in 1995. Research led me to trace their origins back to Oldham, and various family connections were tentatively made on the FamilySearch database. See ID references: PZS3-FB4 and PZS3-FLS. They probably had no family connections with the Shepherd family, but some future discovery may prove that wrong.	Wright Jolliffe, Elsie Lilian (I0086)
7	Ada was the beneficiary of her brother's (Ernest) will dated 27-5-1919	Rankin, Ada Lizzie (I0487)

9	Albert was one of two beneficiaries in the Will of his aunt Mary Waters Rankin (nee Dewey) when she died in 1888. The other beneficiary was Edward Trundle. Mary was also a witness at the wedding of Albert's father to Hester Elizabeth Rankin in 1873.	Gilson, Albert Henry (I1242)

11	Another MyHeritage record shows her birth place as Carisbrook Union Workhouse, Parkhurst, Northwood	Fuller, Lilian (I0573)
12	Apparently William Jolliffe fathered all Louisa's children but the couple weren't married until 22/4/1894. However, there is a recorded marriage of William and Louisa dated 31/10/1886! That marriage is questioned because mother and three children were in the workhouse (without the father) in 1891 and the couple's marriage date was declared in the 1911 Census as 1894! Alfred George Wright died December, 1880. Possibly the same year of his birth in Carisbrooke This name also appears in the 1911 Census with Alfred 30 years old.??? In 1891 Louisa and three of her children were inmates at the Union Workhouse in Brading, Isle of Wight. Elsie Lillian Dora Ethel Gertrude	Wright, Louisa Ann (I0192)
