    Notes 
    • Eliza Matthews’s children before her marriage were baptised as Matthews with no father named: George (Wells, 1850, born in the workhouse), Eliza (I1578), Elizabeth (1862), and John and Joseph (both 1864). John King was head of her household by 1861, so he may be the father of John, Elizabeth and Joseph (marked putative); in 1871 and 1881 they are entered as Kings.
