Census Names
« on: Saturday 04 January 25 04:33 GMT (UK) »
I believe this census record may hold the key to unlocking a new trove of information regarding my family history. My 5x great grandmother was a McKenzie nee Townsley. On an 1861 Census I have my ancestors, including my 5x great grandmother, living at the same location as many other Townsley’s - all of whom, my ancestors and these Townsley’s, are traveling tinsmiths. I have to assume these are relations of my 5x great grandmother. However I’m having trouble deciphering some of the names and am hoping somebody can help me. Please see attached photo. My best guesses starting from the top are:

Widow Westwood
Margaret Westwood
Alexander(?) Townsley
Mary(?) Townsley
Margaret Townsley
??? Townsley
Isaac McKenzie
Mary McKenzie
John McKenzie
Alexander McKenzie
Mary McKenzie
Bridget McKenzie
Joseph(?) Townsley
Agnes Townsley
Robert Townsley
??? Stewart Townsley
