1881 - So who is George?  Family in Broughton, Hants (Stockbridge area)

George Peters   29   sweep, b Farnham, Surrey
Rebecca Peters  26  b Devizes
Lavinia Peters    18    Sister  b Wallop
Gelias Peters       17  visitor b Burbage  [male - is this Golias?]]
Edward Kempster  6   Visitor b Wilts

Further digging suggests George is the son of Joseph and Betsy (Elizabeth) Peters - he's another sweep

There's a marriage in Winterslow, Wiltshire  in 1843. The spouse is transcribed as Betty Butt or Bull depending on the source. Joseph's father is James, Betty's is John  - and yes they're both sweeps

Added - in 1861 Joseph and Betsy have  a 2 year old called Joseph. presumably the same person as on 1871 with Abigail and Lavinia in the Cooper's tent
