Hi There Simon

I have your family living in Toxteth Park. Liverpool

On the 1881 census:-

Name   

JOSEPH C BROWN     head    46        Dorset           Stone Mason

OLIVE       BROWN     wife     47        Hampshire 
 
JOSEPH D BROWN     son      20       Southampton   Stone mason

DIGBY E    Brown      son       18      Southampton    Stone mason

OLIVE S.D                 Dau      13      Southampton    Domestic

COSFIELD J              son       11      Southampton    scholar

GEORGE H               son         7       Boston  USA      scholar

Their address was
114 Upper Essex Street
Toxteth Park
Lancashire

they are still at that address in 1891

Joseph Cosfield         is still a stone mason
Olive                          is by now a grocer
Olive junior                is a grocers assistant
Cosfield J                   is a joiner
George H                   is a engineer fitter

Digby and Joseph jnr are not at this address but I will try to find them for you.

Kind regards
JeannieR
