Research Notes

• 1901 Census entry for Charles Rees (occupation boiler maker) married and living as a boarder at 106 Major Road, West Ham, but Susan isn't listed as living with him
• Entry in 1901 Census for Susannah Rees (born Forest Gate, Essex) working as a domestic servant at 86 Whyteville Road, West Ham. Oddly though, she is listed as widowed, which must be a mistake if this is really Susan Hitchcock.
