Between 1881 and 1891, the family lived at 79 Middle Brook Street, Winchester.
By 1891, only their daughter Fanny was still living there with her parents.
The 1881 census shows that Williams mother-in-law, Mary Trimmer, a widow, was living with the family.
His wife's maiden name is therefore assumed to be Trimmer, but this needs to be confirmed by other research.
The census entries for the family demonstrate how unreliable census age information can be.
In 1881, William's age was given as 48 but ten years later he was said to be 65!
His wife, Elizabeth, on the other hand, was said to be 45 in 1881 and 57 in 1891.
Their daughter Fanny's age on the census records is probably more accurate; 8 in 1881 and 19 in 1891.
