Extracted from 1841 Census

Rachel was John Statham's second wife. I believe Mary is Rachel's first child and the first 3 children were to his first wife, Mary (Snr).

Notice how the son JOHN is shown as 13 yrs old. ?a mistake or just a way of getting him into work as a "scavinger" a bit earlier !
In fact, he was only 10. The 1851 census is damaged but in the 1861 census you will see he is then listed as 30 ...his correct age.
