I'd appreciate your opinions on the enumerator's writing of my gt grandmother's relationship to her father Robinson Holden in the 1861 census for Bolton Lancs.She is Mary Holden (but here Fletcher) aged 6 born Bolton.Family Surname has been wrongly transcribed on Ancestry as "Halden".On her marriage cert in 1877 her father is Robinson Holden and her surname Holden too.I've enhanced the image of the census but can't decide if it looks like adoptd or step or something else but then I thought how could it be step as her parents already have an older daughter Phoebe aged 8.I really would value someone else's interpretation and have no one else to ask.By the way I've only just started research on the Holden side of my grandad's family but from family info when he was still alive had no inkling she wasn't a natural Holden!! Thanks all
