Notes
- The name Whetham could have been Whitham (no dot on "i"). Oddly it was the only one which do not have at least a letter for the Christian name. Checking the 1851 census transcription gives possiblities of WHITTAM/WHITLAM .
- Furman may be the FIRMAGE/FURMAGE as noted in the 1851 census transcription?
