(*Note: I believe that the name “Charles” has been incorrectly entered on the census return. This seems to be the same family as 1871 and 1891)

Downing, Elizabeth
Lucas, John
Payne, Lanceet
Salter, Caroline M
Fanny and Ellen Payne feature in the 1911 census (both married by then) and have specific connections with the Offord children Florence and William which leads me to believe that although the marriage record for George and Minnie refers to Minnie’s father as being “Joseph” it seems probable that he was in fact “Lancelot Joseph”.
Just like Trish, I cannot trace definitively George Offord before 1901 although there are possibilities.
