1851 Census
Ropsey, Lincs
HO107/2104/375/23
Christopher HAMMOND, 73, Head, Mar, born Ropsey
Mary, 63, Wife, Mar, born Sewstern, Leicestershire
Mary, 25, Daug, Unm, born Heighington
Philip, 22, Son, Unm, Ag Lab, born Heighington
Sarah, 12, Daug, Unm,  born Heighington
William, 1, Grandson, born Lincoln City
James, 1mth, Grandson, born Heighington


Yes, Heighington (which my dad always pronounced He-ington) was part of Washingborough parish.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

If Mary really was 63 in 1851, she was 53 in 1841 and unlikely to be the mother of Sarah methinks.
