Thank you for your suggestions.
1. Possible. But the children in the next family interviewed are
listed.
2. T only surviving grandmother was dead and the grandfather,
living in Canada would soon die of Cholera. There may have been
other relatives living near them, but I haven't been able to find
them, yet.
3. Reasonably sure this is the correct family; names, ages and
places of birth are all correct.
