The household consisted of Jane and her two sons Henry (age 14) and Frederick (age 10). Although Jane is shown as unmarried she is the widow of Henry Wakefield and is supporting her family by working as a plain sewer almost certainly at home, for very long hours and poorly paid. It is possible that Henry who is apprenticed to a hairdresser is also bringing home a small wage. The family shared the house with 2 other families and in all 10 people lived in the house. The size is unknown.

The household consisted of Jane and her son Frederick. Jane is working as a charwoman and her son although he is only 20 is shown as a jeweller and clock maker. Presumably he is either apprenticed or working as an assistant in a jeweller's shop. They shared the house with two other families and a single married woman whose husband was probably away at sea. At the time there were 8 people living in the house. The size is unknown.
Death:
17 Mar 1890 (age 62)

According to her death certificate her son Frederick was with her when she died which probably means he was at her home which was about a mile away from where he lived at 219 Hotwell Road.
