    The fact that Mary Ann junior is blind is a strong confirmation that these are the same. Have you checked the actual census pages - often ages are struck over with ink and its hard to tell what they said.

    I have had some odd discrepancies where the census image is clear - I assume that maybe the error occurred when they were transferring information from the household sheet to the enumeration sheet.

      Thankyou Nell I have put above what is on the image so it then follows I hope that this family is correct in 1851.

      The only marriage ref I can find for Joseph and Mary Ann is in Mar 1850.
      Joseph 25
      Mary 31
      James 9
      Elizabeth 1m
      Mary Ann Harris visitor 6 BLIND
      Mary Craze Lodger U 63 pauper

      This leads me to believe that Mary Ann senior has been married before and that Mary Ann Junior and James are her children. There is a marriage for a Mary Ann Craze with a Richard Harris on the same page in 1842. Sometimes it just helps that another pair of eyes sees it to confirm the thinking. So thankyou for your help.

      I am hoping this is right as Joseph and Mary are my 3xGt Grandparents.

          Looking at them I tend to agree with Little Nell that they are the same family. Address, names the fact mary junior is blind etc all points in right direction. I would claim them!
