    • In 1841 the household consister of 2 Benjamins, father and son, and 4 'women', rounded down ages ranging from 40 (Mary) and 35 (Susana) - presumably the two daughters with Benjamin senior in 1851 down to 25 (Eliza) and 15 (Ann), the latter possibly the granddaughter Elizabeth A present in 1851.

      In 1851 with two daughters (Mary and Susanna) and a granddaughter (Elizabeth A), who worked as a governess.

      While the occupation suggests a man of means it is noticeable that there is no live-in servant present in either of the censuses; maybe the occupation was not as grand as it sounds.

    Father John INMAN, [Children?],   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Mother Susanna THOMPSON,   d. Yes, date unknown

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 7 Nov 2024)Not
      Not clear if June or July - follows marriages on 30 June, but 'July' is written by the next marriage; I suspect July written a little low down in the register.
      "[June / July] 6 - John Inman & Susanna Thompson _ P"
      (all entries have 'P' or 'L' by them, I assume L means licence so P means Banns)

      Only Anne, John and Samuel are recorded at baptism as the children of John and Susanna, the other 4 I suggest as their children here simply being shown as the children of 'John'. It seems unlikely that John and Susanna would have had two children reasonably soon after marriage (i.e. in 1751 and 1753) and then no more until 1763, so the 3 daughters of a John neatly fill that gap. Benjamin then is at a reasonable gap after Samuel. However, it seems Benjamin was a linen manufacturer. The John b. 1753 I believe I descend from was a pauper when most of his children were buried (in the 1780s and 1790s), unlikely to have a brother who was a linen manufacturer. But if Benjamin was NOT the son of John and Susanna, then they could still be the parents of 'my' John. Samuel was a hairdresser and perfumer when he died in 1826, which sounds to me a more humble occupation, more consistent with being my John's brother.
