• Name	George Bristow  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

  	This person, George Bristow, is recorded as the son of Benjamin Bristow but the 1851 census has a George Bristow as the son of Stephen Bristow. That could be a coincidence except that both these Georges were born in the same year, were blind and were basket makers. It HAS to be the same person. But to which family does he belong? The only documentary evidence we have so far is the 1851 census that places him under Stephen. Paul Barrett 31 Jul 2017 Update: Resolved. His marriage certificate gives his father as Benjamin Bristow Paul Barrett 27 Mar 2018

  	It's worth taking a look at the 1871 Census transcription. George's Servant/Housekeeper has her children with her. Now it's not unusual for a widowed man to take on a housekeeper but he would be a generous one that allowed two young children to accompany her and, presumably, picked up their living costs. Events will shortly unfold. Look at Spouse 2.....
