Nesxt Door

EVANS Richard Head 66 Spade ??? Turner?? Worcs Stourbridge
EVANS Elizabeth Wife 62 -do-

The Richard EVANS and Elizabeth next door are the parents of James Henry I think... Although he has a different name again on the previous census. All very confusing.

But he was born 2 years after James Henry and Sylvia appeared on the 1881 census together.
