Elizabeth living with her grandparents. Her age should be 21 and it is obviously Woodford, Northants. Is Jessie her children, born at Stanion in 1876/77 or is it her brother. Her parents have a 4 year old daughter Kate living with them. Perhaps Jesse and Kate are twins or more probably Jesse is Elizabeth Jane's illegitimate child.
