1881 census records of Mary and Anne Muston and families.

Household 1:  (Note: All links take you to the LDS website www.familysearch.org, all data derived from the same website )

Anne and Thomas Dunkley are shown as living at “Woodmarket” in Lutterworth which is a street about 500 metres long.  Woodmarket was then on the southern edge of the township.  Nearby are several churches which may hold records of the family. (refer maps below).  It appears that Anne has broken away from her farm labourer family roots and married a bootmaker with one employee.   Note her daughter Ada is working as a servant at the tender age of 13.

Household 2:

Living less than 10 miles from Mary is her sister Anne Hewins at Thurlaston which appears to be a small farming village.  The map shows a village with a church and a sand quarry nearby however household 3 (below) lists a stone quarry worker.  In the 1901 Thurlaston census Thomas and Anne are living in Croft Road Thurlaston alone, the next building in the street appears to be the Elephant and Castle Inn. (link) Croft Road is the southern entrance to the town and is now called Main Street (how boring is that).

On the 1924 electoral role Ann (aged 80) is still living at Croft Rd Thurlaston with Catherine, Thomas and John, probably her grandchildren but over the age of 21. No ages or surnames are listed ?.  Ann is remembered as being caretaker of the baptist chapel in Thurlaston.

Household 3:

Living 4 doors away from Anne in Thurlaston is Thomas Hewins Senior, presumed to be her father-in-law.  It appears that a Hewins daughter married a Mr Oliver hence the names of  grandchildren below, and also the name of Annes son Oliver Hewins above.
