Thank you Tati
Can you tell me why her birthplace would have changed from Kinswinford as on previous census, to Wordsley after she married :-\

Celia
P.S In 1881 she is a Parlormaid and gives her birthplace as stourbridge Worcester ???

I just looked up the Cecil And his full name is
Cecil Wesson James Hignett.Grandad was the first to be named Cecil, Wesson H Jones (he named my dad Cecil), Wesson was his dads name My G,Grandad. So young Cecil is named after one brother and 2 grandads.
