Interesting Hannah goes from Lodger to Daughter-in-law in 10 years without changing her name --- was daughter-in-law being used as -(step-daughter) - (adopted daughter)
I've just looked at the original for 1861 and noted the following:
Originally Hannah has Do for her surname ie Batty! This has been crossed out and Holloway added.
The rest of the children then have Do for their surname --- Question when was the crossing out and the Holloway added - if all the children were added with Do and then the enumerator was corrected - it reverts just Hannah to being Holloway or she presented them with Benjamin as a surprise extra!
