Hi! Kim,

Thank you for the info, but there would appear to be some discrepancy here. In the 1851 Census, the children are shown as

Hester Sessions b.1824 spouse of George Sessions b.1820/ the census printout was b 1829 but I think this is an error)

Children Elizabeth b. 1843
Eliza b 1845
Robert b 1846
Stepeh b 1848
Charles b 1851

Stephen ws my Grandfather and he left home at 8 yrs of age and walked to Bristol.

You have added a Charlotte, (could this be Charles?)
Fanny, Emma and Thomas

I am showing an Elizabeth Sessions b. 1843 as a housemaid at East Hendred in the 1871 Census.
Your 3x g.grandmother Jane, would have been my grandfather's aunt.

This info adds a whole new dimension, as I had not interested myself in East Hendred after 1851.

Thank You for updating me.

Hello Stan,
My 3x great grandmother, Jane Norris had a sister Hester, who married a George Sessions in 1842. George was born in 1822. They had 6 children:
Eliza b 1843
Robert b 1846
Charlotte b 1851
Fanny b 1856
Emma b 1860
Thomas b 1861
They were from East Hendred in Berkshire. Is this any help to you?
