Hello Allison Thanks for your reply, however this a mistake by the enumerator the John aged 3 is actually Jane as I found out when I ckecked this against the 1851 Census for the same address. The one I am after is a different family the mothers name which I left out of my original posting is Jane Calvert and the family lived in Johnson St Sunderland when baby John was born in 1838, but no sign of him or his parents after this very odd.
