An examination of the 1851 Census for Marton reveals the following:

Relationshhip: Head
Marital Status: Widow
Age: 70
Occupation: Cowkeeper
Born: Leven
Name:
Thomas Naisby
Relationship: Son
Marital Status: Single
Age: 54
Occupation: Cordwainer

Relationship: Son
Marital Status: Single
Age: 50
Occupation: Cordwainer
Born: Swine
Name:
William Naisby
Relationship: Son
Marital Status: Single
Age: 49

It should be noted that
Mary Naisby
is the sister of

Mercer
, druggist, of Hull.
It should also be noted that her age on the 1851 Census does not correspond with her obituary in the Hull Packet (see earlier posting)

Thanks Peter6
Noticed the mistake with the age.Often wondered if any census takers paid attention to what they were being told although lots of errors still today.
