Census 1881	4 April 1881	Hannah Snelson Id #1,558 (Principal) was at home on Census night 4 April 1881 at 53 Handbridge, Chester, Cheshire; The records say that Jane was Head of the Household, but absent on Census night. I think that this might refer to Jane Roscow [19942] who married Hannah's brother Thomas Snelson, the plumber - who lived in Bolton. On the other hand, this Jane may be the daughter of Thomas Snelson and Jane Crawford. On the surface that is - I think the Census recorder has made a mistake here - I am sure that this William Roberts is married to Hannah Snelson, the daughter of Samuel Snelson & Margaret Coventry. This theory is supported by the fact that Hannah's parish marriage records that her father is Samuel Snelson, a cabinet maker. Jane Roscow died in 1880 - which might explain why she was absent and also she lived in Bolton. It's a mystery for the moment. I think in 1881, William Roberts is identified as the Son-in-Law of Jane - who is absent but perhaps the real Head of the Hosehold or absent landlord. William's wife is Hannah and their 2 children Mary H Roberts and Sarah Roberts are at home that night. Also home is Annie Snelson shown as a daughter aged 17 - but she must be the daughter of Margaret Snelson [14], Hannah's sister methinks. Jane is Annie's aunt - well because Jane Roscow is married to Annie's mother's brother. Witness Role: daughter Original Documents, Source and Citations here5

Unfortunately, the same fate befell her sister and namesake ( see below ), who died aged 9 months in October 1856. Unlucky. [:CR:].

• Christening: Elizabeth was christened on 2 October 1853 in Church of England, St. Mary's, Chester.¹
• Death: She died about 1854.

  In 1934, Kelly's Cheshire Directory lists "Henry Snelson & Sons" of Chester as Corn Dealers. I believe that this ties in with Henry Snelson being a Corn Factor ealier around 1900 and the entry in the 1938 Kelly's Directory which listes " Chas Snelson a Corn Dealer of Canal Side in Chester and E. Snelson a Corn Dealer of again, Canal Side. I think this is Charles Snelson and Egerton Snelson, sons of Henry Snelson the Corn Factor.
