Hannah Coxon is the daughter of Robert Coxon and Mary Jane Lamphee. Richard Lamphee is Mary Jane's father. Hannah is present with her grandfather Richard: http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/records.page/image/e1911rg14/7397359?searchhistorykey=23749267&surname=lamphee%20jun&forename=richard and is also with her father and mother: http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/records.page/image/e1911rg14/7369291 I assume that neither head of household realised that the other had listed her between the eve of Sunday April 2nd and Tuesday morning April 3rd. Wonder how often this happened. Philip

	I had the same thing happen Phillip. I assume my Grandmother decided not to stay over at her Grannies house that night after all!!! :-) Welcome to the boards.
