Unconfirmed reports

Notable finds - as yet unconnected with the family apart from name:

There is a William Nash (aged 74) listed in 1881 as an inmate at the Steyning Union workhouse in Beeding Upper in Sussex - could this be some relation of Charlotte's?

There are also some other Allfrey's (well, I mean actual, as opposed to Allfrog's) in Hove in Sussex (there is William (26), Fanny (29), WIlliam H (3), Herbert W. (10)).

1881 - Cambridge St, Brighton, Sussex.
