Thank you so much!! Gertrude Blueman seems to have been the sort of grandmother who every child wanted to have! so everyone remembers what she told them about her family

could be the same family as in the 1871 census with Tom getting married and john living there. Maybe the ages in the 1871 census are muddled up. EDIT! I think we cracked it! thank you
