Looking up the ancestry of Rosie TROLLOP(E), a popular barmaid, I traced her parents in 1871, and they weren't a couple in 1861, so looked for their marriage between the two censuses... 1871: Source information: RG10/2479 Registration district: Bath Sub-registration district: Bathwick ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Folio: 53 Page: 11 Household schedule number: 64 GSU Number: 835194 *Hugh Trollope abt 1849 Hannington, Wiltshire, England Head *Julia Trollope abt 1848 Rodborough, Gloucestershire, England Wife Harry W Trollope abt 1870 Monkton; Combe, Somerset, England Son *Name: TROLLOP, Hugh Record Type: Marriages Quarter: March Year: 1870 District: Bath County: Avon Somerset Volume: 5c Page: 968 *only bride called Julia: LUSTY, Julia (sic!!!!) My husband suggested that it would have been much better if they'd opted to hyphenate the surnames! Christine
