I am getting a headache trying to work it out.

Can someone look at the 1881 census for Samuel and see if Harriets name could be Priest or Preece please.
I am struggling to find a connection although it says stepdaur for Harriet and Daur in law for Elizabeth.

It is very hard to read...it doesn't look like how he does his "B's" could well be Priest

It looks like PRIEST to me.

Thanks both, I still can't work out how they all fit together.

I have no idea how to add any of this to BCC. Do we archive ?
