Eliza Maud not found after 1881. * Research into Hester's family gives ample evidence that Hester was born in East Bergholt, Suffolk. The reference to Hampton in 1881 looks simply to have been a mistake. In 1901 George (57) and Hester (54) were still there, together with Margaret E. (23), Amy L. (21) and Percy (16). Dora Page aged 5, their grand-daughter, was also in the house. 1911 census (found in Findmypast under MINDER): in Brick Kiln Lane, Great Horkesley, Essex (4 rooms), George (head, 68, widower, 9 children, 7 living 2 died, gardener, worker, at home, born Great Horkesley, Essex) and Margaret (daughter, 33, single, laundress, worker, at home, born Great Horkesley, Essex).
