1881 Census

Img_1592

This is a picture of the 1881 Census record kept in Ardington Church.

It shows:

  • George Prior, Carpenter aged 30
  • Louisa Prior (nee Stevens) Wife aged 33
  • Wilfred Prior, Son, aged 1
  • Ernest Lewis , Boarder, aged 5

Above the Prior family is the Williams family, who lived next door.  William and Jane had a daughter, Annie Elisabeth, who was born the year after the census.

Subsequently Wilf Prior married Annie Williams, had a daughter Winfred, who had a daughter Winifred aka Babs.

So on this piece of paper, we have my two Great, Great Grandfathers - George Prior and William Williams, two Great Grandfathers - Wilf Prior and Ernest Lewis.
