Thanks. Sorry you had to state the obvious but I didn't want to presume that the terms had remained constant across time. I had always been under the impression that 19th century England was more of a patriarchal society than Harriett's situation suggests. Her eldest brother lists his occupation as labourer. Harriett was the youngest of seven children, with four older brothers. Apparently times, and my ancestors, were more enlightened than I had been lead to imagine. (Three cheers for Harriett?)
