1861 Census York - Ronchetti

[Brian]

Hello all
I'm looking for the family of Thomas Angelo Ronchetti b York about 1854.  He became a Chemist so it may be in the family?

Cheers

...but who is the head of the household?  Does it say?

That is all it says on the census for that household, it does seem abit strange....

I think you've struck Gold Jeanette, they are obviously all the same family -quite what was going on in 1861 we'll never know!  Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Lizzie
There are more questions than answers!  It would seem highly likely that these families are linked if not the same.  The wives being Mary Ann from Yeddon/Yeadon having different ages throws things - otherwise I would assume that Thomas was at school in Scarborough being looked after by his aunt Hannah in 1861.  There seems to be a link between Scarborough and York so perhaps it was living above the shop in York and a home in Scarborough.  I spent some time looking at BMD's last night and this would imply (never trust speculation!) that they are the same family and also Joseph jr went to Stockton on Tees as did Thomas.  I am well on the way to a tree and then have just to gather the primary evidence to prove it.  Thankyou both for your help.  Next I will look at The Historical Directories site to see if it throws any light on the situation!
