The return states that Jane (?) Snelson, the head of the family, was temporarily
absent at the time of the census. This may mean that Jane was Annies's
grandmother, and therefore the grandmother of William & Hannah Roberts' two
children. She may therefore be Hannah's mother perhaps making William & Hannah
the Uncle and aunt of Annie ?
