Name Relationship Marital Status Age Occupation Place of Birth
Elizabeth Porter Head Widow 65   Chichester, Sussex
Edward Son Unmarried 44 Chelsea Pensioner Chichester, Sussex
John Son Widower 42 Brick Maker Ireland
Jane Daughter   12   Fordington, Dorset
Louisa Daughter   8   Fordington, Dorset

Edward is now deceased and his wife is the head of the family. We now have two additional sons. The daughters Jane and Louisa cannot be Elizabeth's daughter as she would have been about 57 when she gave birth. It seems that they are John's daughters to his first wife. He is a widower here. The son Edward was possibly missing from earlier censuses due to being in the army. No record of him being a Chelsea Pensioner has been found so far.
