| Census 1881 | Jane Roscow Id #19,942 (Principal) was at home on Census night 4 April 1881 at 53 Handbridge, Chester, Cheshire; The records say that Jane was Head of the Household, but absent on Census night. I think that this might refer to Jane Roscow [19942] who married Hannah's brother Thomas Snelson, the plumber - who lived in Bolton. On the other hand, this Jane may be the daughter of Thomas Snelson and Jane Crawford. On the surface that is - I think the Census recorder has made a mistake here - I am sure that this William Roberts is married to Hannah Snelson, the daughter of Samuel Snelson & Margaret Coventry. This theory is supported by the fact that Hannah's parish marriage records that her father is Samuel Snelson, a cabinet maker. Jane Roscow died in 1880 - which might explain why she was absent and also she lived in Bolton. It's a mystery for the moment. I think in 1881, William Roberts is identified as the Son-in-Law of Jane - who is absent but perhaps the real Head of the Hosehold or absent landlord. William's wife is Hannah and their 2 children Mary H Roberts and Sarah Roberts are at home that night. Also home is Annie Snelson shown as a daughter aged 17 - but she must be the daughter of Margaret Snelson [14], Hannah's sister methinks. Jane is Annie's aunt - well because Jane Roscow is married to Annie's mother's brother. Principal Role Original Documents, Source and Citations here4 |

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 ?
