Robert Henry Seally was around 1859 but dont have much info on him yet
I think I put in the GRO various spellings to find the registrations, silley was used a fair bit
Emma's family are a mess
She's on 1861 in this family group in Dittisham
Mary Jane Crook 29
Mary Ellen Crook 5
Susanna Crook 3
Emma L Crook 1
Mary Ann Silly 56 - boarder
Ellen Silly 13 - niece
Eliza Ann Silly 8 - niece
Mary Jane Silly 6 - niece
Emma Silly 3 - niece
Ellen is definitely Mary Ann's daughter - there's a baptism for her, daughter of William and Mary Ann. Her birth is registered with mmn Hutchings, which fits earlier censuses for Mary Ann as there are Hutchings relatives in the household
I think Mary Jane Crook is also Mary Ann's daughter - there's a Mary Jane Seally marrying William Crook in 1853 and she's the right age for Mary Ann's daughter from 1851
I am struggling with births of the other Silly girls. Niece would suggest child of one of Mary Ann's siblings, and all of those at home in 1851 were female
