Only Tavistock terrace is  rg10 277 fols 17 -21. looks to be wrong district though.

Laths are the strips of wood a plasterer plasters onto.

As in lath-and-plaster walls/ ceilings.

So, in 1871 we have
RG10/44 84 74
Kensington
43 Lonsdale Road
Alfred Johnson, head, 25, Plasterer, b. Essex Romford
Sarah, wife, 20, b. Middlesex Paddington
Alfred, son, 3, b. Kensington

Next door a Cook family headed by Thomas and Sarah who, ten years back in Paddington, did have a daughter Sarah age 10 born Marylebone ...

Well, I'm convinced...

i don't know how to make a link short in this

i have found an alfred and sarah tomkins in 1871 aswell with son alfred, this is probably the same family as in the 1881 which does look likely.

[Tati]

Where are they?!  Can you post the reference?

Thanks so much all for your help, wot i would do without everyone here i do not know

oh no..........  the ages don't match?  could this be a mistake?

[Tati]

Hm - I don't think they're the ones:

They're in Worcestershire, all born Worcestershire, dad an Ag lab  

Also, they have older children when the marriage for Alfred and Sarah was in Kensington in 1868  

And finally, they are elsewhere in 1881
