Prior to gaining access to it, it appeared that William had one wife, Elizabeth, and one son, Edward and that the parents lived together in Mill Lane until their deaths. This census record reveals that it wasn’t quite so simple. Elizabeth Wootton had at least two more children, Elizabeth Charlotte, born 1855, and Emily Agnes, born 1857. They were baptised on 14 Oct 1855 and 15 Nov 1857 respectively. Why there should be such a gap between Edward’s birth and the birth of these two daughters is puzzling. No other children appear in Census records but it is possible that other children were born and died in the years between censuses. It appears that William’s wife Elizabeth had died in March 1861, just before the census. Elizabeth’s younger sister Charlotte Wootton looks to have moved in, presumably to look after the household and the two young children. The sadness continued, however, as both girls died in the autumn of 1861. Elizabeth Charlotte died on 2 Sep 1861 and was buried four days later. Emily Agnes was buried on 23 Oct 1861. William lost little time in re-marrying. He married another Elizabeth, this time Elizabeth Wybrow in the second quarter of 1862. In the 1861 Census, Elizabeth Whybrow [sic] was 34, unmarried and living with her widowed mother, aged 72, and an elder sister at 49 New Square, Cambridge.
