Thank you for finding that for me jc, not sure who the lodgers are and it looks lke William Jordan and daughter of the family Elizabeth aged 23 are an item.
Can anyone help a bit further please and see if the baptisms of Matilda, John and Hannah can be found, I am hoping to find the occupation of the head of the family James at the time of the baptisms. I have had no luck finding baptisms of 2 of their other children so they may not have been done!
Many thanks

Thanks Pheno that is just what I want, I wonder why it didn't state an occupation for James the dad, perhaps he was unemployed at the time.
Hopefully the baptisms of the other children can be found to see what his occupation was at the time.
