• Notes

  Charles and Hannah Young first appear on the 1841 Census for Lopen, Somerset, but Hannah’s age is out by 5 years when compared to later records. Elizabeth has already been born. Frederick is a newbornand has not yet been named. We next find them on the 1851 Census with three children. Their identity as the family into which Joseph Ash married in 1861 has not been proven conclusively but the circumstantial evidence is strong. Charles was a ‘manufactory labourer’, Hannah was a weaver and Elizabeth was a glover at the tender age of 12. On the night of the census they also had a visitor, Anne Gummer (72), a widow and a pauper. On the 1861 Census Charles (45) and Hannah (50) are living in Church Street, Lopen with Frederick (19). This record reveals that Ann Gummer, who is still living with them, was Hannah's mother. She is aged 83. It also shows that Charles and his wife worked as a sail cloth weavers. In 1871, Charles, Hannah and Frederick were living at 76 Middle Street, Lopen and Charles was working as an agricultural labourer. Ann Gummer is not present, which suggests that she may have died.
