Individual Note

Albert was dumb from birth. Both the 1871 and 1881 Censuses classify him as an imbecile, however, the 1891, 1901 and 1911 Censuses are more specific in indicating that he was dumb. It would also appear that he never worked and the 1891 Census indicates that he was 'living on the parish'. In the 1911 Census he is shown as being an invalid. He lived with his parents until they died and then with his sister Mary and her husband John Davies.5 6 7 8 9
