All were born in Sunderland save for Eliza, who was born at Chatham in Kent. 12 year old daughter Eliza Burnkell [sic] was staying at the time with her widower grandfather, George Hanson (a 70 year old pensioner shipwright, from Monkwearmouth) and her aunt Mary Hanson (a 40 year old spinster, born - like Eliza's mother, Eliza, at Chatham) at 37 Ogden Street, Deptford, Sunderland.
