   In this house along with William & Hannah Roberts and their children who were
   related to the Snelson family lived :-
   
   Annie Snelson granddaughter unm 17 Domestic Servant Chester
   
   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 ?
