Hi there,
We're looking for a cheap small laptop to use on holiday, and like the look of the Dell Chromebook 11 3180. We only want it for browsing the internet and for emails, and we are finding that our previous small Windows laptop is very slow, plus the battery life isn't great, and chromebooks seem to be faster than similar Windows laptops, and have a good battery life. We were wondering, however, if they are OK to do internet banking on, as this is something that we might have to do while we are away?
Thanks in anticipation of your advice!
Cheers
Mandy

Thanks for everyone's input so far. Mabel, can I please just ask how you know that Patrick's mother's maiden name is Hall, because this could tie the families from the Census with James' service record, and increase the certainty of what happened to James. To summarize, we have Owen Burns and family on the 1861 Census, living at 5 Railway Row, and, living with them, is Isabella Hall, aunt, so she could be a relative of Mary Burns? The family is still at 5 Railway Row in 1971. If the 1881 Census is of the same family, which seems likely, despite the discrepancies in ages, this ties in with James' service record, because we know his mother lives at 44 South Johnston Street, which is where the family are living according to the 1881 census. We also have the links with the name Owen, the fact that James twice says he's a Miner, and the glassmaker link. So, barring a few loose ends, we might have found out about James. The only remaining mystery is Elizabeth Ann!

It looks very likely keyboard86, names, ages, location all fit. It's strange that James doesn't acknowledge his father on his marriage certificate though?
Annette, interesting to see that James is alive in 1930. So....where has he been hiding I wonder? And where is Elizabeth?
Thanks to everyone who has helped remove a few more bricks from the wall. Unfortunately it's still standing!

Thanks Ayashi, my mind is getting fuddled with all this! Obviously James (aka William S?) and Elizabeth Ann and Stephen Owen were in Stoke Damerel for the 1891 Census. 
The trail only goes cold after Stephen Owen's death in 1892.

Aw! Pleased that he has found a new home, thanks for the update.
