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 ?

Main Events
| Biography | There is some confusion here. I will have to ask my cousin Richard to help me sort it out. I have date of death as 8 October 1856, but my cemetery records say ( Grave 1047 Overleigh ) "Description: Elizabeth Snelson Daughter of William & Margaret Snelson Age: 9 mths Address: Handbridge Parish: St Mary on the Hill Date of Death: 04/11/1856 Date of Burial: 08/11/1856 Grave Number: P1047 Page Number: 88 Consecrated: True Cemetery Register: DCE/1/1 Running Number: 1912" So I have different dates of death. The data gathered by Richard on Wednesday 29 March confirms the date of death as 31 October 1856. Secondly, Richard's St. Mary Baptisms show Elizabeth dau of William and Margaret Snelson, cowkeeper, Handbridge, bapt. 2 Oct 1853 ! I just wonder whether we have two families here ? Or perhaps, just two daughters with the same name ? |

He was admitted on 3 May 1897 to the St. Mary Junior Boys School at the age of seven ......... birth date give as 23 Sept 1889. However, William and Eliza were running the Grosvenor Arms in 1888 and I don't seem to have a record of Thomas' baptism. Where and when was he baptised ? [:CR:]. |

Main Events
| Marriage | John Snelson married Alice Unknown.1 |
| Note | . I think there is some doubt about all this ... a John Joseph Snelson, mother maiden name Wiiliams was born in Q3 1882 in Chester. |
| Biography | There may be the kernel of suspicion here, as the name Eliza in the christening entry was written Elizabeth then corrected by striking out the last 4 letters. Did William marry again ? Is that the reason why John, Ellen and Ada were all christened on the same day ? Does the change in wife go with the change in lifestyle, becoming an innkeeper rather than a joiner .... hardly a natural career progression, although many of us may aspire to such a migration in fortune.

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 ?
