I wonder if someone could give some advice arising out of Will and census records relating to some educated folks in the 1850s? The relationships in question (names all changed) are set out below with my questions after (not sure how this will physically look on the screen: am using indents!)...
Has 2 sons:
They each have a daughter:
Emma has a daughter Florence BROWN who lives with Dierdre SMITH (now JONES, her married name) for many years.
By my (official) reckoning Florence is the 1st Cousin Once Removed from Dierdre but she is actually described as Dierdre's Niece. Is this something that might be used or would it be deemed an unusual way to describe Florence's relationship with Dierdre?
Thanks for any help
