  Notes	It's not clear where the name Vincer came from (although William's supposed aunt Elizabeth married a Vincer). No baptism has been found for William so we do not know whether he was baptised as William Vincer Minter but his second marriage and his death were registered as William Vincer Minter. 1841 census: aged 20, possibly a male servant with Lord Ernest Bruce and his wife in Curzon Street, Mayfair, London. 1850: a servant in Chelsea in May and a porter in Bath in August. An excellent article 'The Minter family and their work in workhouses across England' by Ed Grimsdale can be found at http://www.winslow-history.org.uk/winslow_families-minter.shtm 1851 census: in Buckingham Road, Winslow, Bucks, William (31, Master of Workhouse) and Mary Ann (26, matron, born Southwark, Surry (sic)). 1855: Master of Workhouse in Winslow, Bucks. 1861 census: at the Union Workhouse, Winslow, Bucks, William (42, Master), Mary Ann (37, matron, born Bath, Somerset), Anne (8, scholar), William (6, scholar), Alfred (4) and Elizabeth (2). 1871 census: at the Union Workhouse, Buckingham Road, Winslow, Bucks, William (51, Workhouse Master), second wife Emily (41, workhouse martron , born Portsmouth, Hants), Elizabeth (11, scholar), Clara (9, scholar) and John (8, scholar). 1881 census: at the Union Workhouse, Buckingham Road, Winslow, Bucks, William (61, Master of Workhouse), Emily (51, matron of workhouse), Katie [probably Clara] (18, formerly school mistress) and John (18, Assistant Relieving Officer). 1891 census: at the Union Workhouse, Buckingham Road, Winslow, Bucks, William (widower, 71, Master & Relieving Officer) and Clara H J F Minter (step-daughter, single, 27, Matron of Workhouse). Also, as a visitor, Mary Edith A V Minter (8, born Brixton, Surrey) - this was presumably the daughter of William's son William's second wife Elizabeth Abbott.
