Thank you Alan
This is my Bigg family. I wanted to check if Caroline was still at home in 1851 and she was. Her siblings Henry and Frances had moved out by then. I wonder why it was double entry maybe the enumerator was sacked for putting only initials for the names and it was relisted????
Brilliant stuff

Kind Regards
Cal  :D
