Notes on transcription

• Abode: the residence is recorded as Birchfroy (the letters after "f" appear to read "r-o-y").
• Missing wife. Although Henry Preston is listed as "Mar" (Married), his wife Ann Preston is not recorded in the household on this census page.
• Stepdaughter. Catharine A. Kneale, "Step Daur," born in Andreas, connects this household to Ann's daughter Catherine Ann Quayle (here under the surname of Ann's third husband) — direct evidence linking Henry Preston's household to Ann's pre-existing family.
• Henry Preston's birthplace, Arbory, matches the birthplace later given for his widow Ann Preston in the 1881 census.
