    • Relation to Head of House: Head
      This is a strange census entry.
      The address matches for the family in 1891 but the children are wrong.
      Here they have 4 children , Samuel, Ella, Ada and Laura.
      Unfortunately none of their other children are present.
      Is it simply a coincidence that two different William Jenkins occupied the same house 10 years apart?

  • Notes 
    • In 1901 census has 2 grandsons living with her, David and William. There is no indication as to who their parents are.
      Most likely candidates are her sons John and William.
    • At the moment (16/10/2011) we have no definite proof that her father was Aaron Swaebe. However, in the 1881 census her son, David Jenkins Swaebe, was living with his uncle, David Swaebe who is the son of Aaron.

      Therefore it is reasonably safe to assume that as David Swaebe is his uncle, then his mother must be David's sister, therefore daughter of Aaron.
