The 1891 census records the family at Shalmaford Farm (?), Chartham, Kent & later at Sutton Cottage (?), Sheldwich, Kent with dau. Daisy. I have no idea what happened to Frances or Amy.

"A Farm Bailiff made sure a tenant farmer ran the farm properly and was paying the rent on time. If not the bailiff had the authority to evict."
