No idea who the others are, they may not have even lived at the same address 1841 census tends to clump people together.

You maybe lucky to find baptisms on the parish records

It looks like they are father and son but his birth may not have been registered

His middle name seemed to be Howell which adds up with the 1864 marriage

this census above does not give relationships but the could well be his siblings

Is there anyway that the siblings (I mentioned above) of Frederick Henry Orris Snr 1827c, can be confirmed. I am assuming that Frederick Orris b1827 and Frederick Orris b 1849 or 1853 ?? are father and son ????

jax Report 7 Oct 2011 21:28

He is not on the 1851 census and his age is in the wrong place so I think he was born 1853 not 1849

Not seeing a birth for him for either year

Frederick Orris aged 12 in the census above (1861) doesn't fit with the death in 1901 which would indicate that he was born in 1853!!!
