Hannah Smith dau 14 Scholar
Robert Smith son 10 Scholar
Timothy Smith son 7
William Walton nephew 15 Labourer at Chain Works
Rest born Tipton Staffs.

Added to bcc as Mary Worton I.A.W. site protocol

but I think name should be Walton

as this Family fits

1841 Owen Street Tipton Dudley Staffs.
Joseph Walton 55 Miner
Margret Walton 50
John Walton 20
Mary Walton 15
Elizabeth Walton 15
Jane Walton 10
All born in County

1851 Owen Street Tipton Dudley Staffs.
Joseph Walton Head 65 Coal Miner
Margaret Walton 62
Jane Walton 22
All born Tipton Staffs.

1851 Bell Street Tipton Dudley Staffs.
Marget Walton 68 Laundress
Jane Walton 28 Dressmaker
William Walton son 6
All born Tipton Staffs.

Reasons
a) Robert Smith lived in Owen Street in 1841 and in later Census records with wife Mary
b) in 1871 William Walton is shown as nephew of Robert and Mary Smith
c) William Walton born 1845 is shown as son of Margaret aged 68 but is probably son of daughter Jane Walton aged 28
d) No Whorton or Worton families found who meet criteria of marriage record and location or age of Mary

As noted above some of family switch from Walton to Worton in later generations

San Has used Worton whilst quite clearly David is Walton not Worton but his some of his children switch to Worton when they marry
I have this Same David on bcc as Walton
