    • (I think this is what the census says)
      Mary and her son were the only 2 people in the cottage.

      This is surprising, as there were 2 households, comprising 10 people, at no. 9, and at least 8 people at no. 8
      (to do: look at other cottages on earlier pages, and the address in other censuses)
      Was no. 10 smaller? Temporarily partly empty? or used for another purpose?
