Just been looking closely at the 1861 census. Yes - very splodgy enumerator, and a bit carried away with his Ditto's; not sure how a 2-year-old cane be described as a scholar!

Following the very helpful 'Gardening' thread, no less than 3 of the Marshall family are described as 'Gardener domestic servant (though if he is getting carried away with dittos again, it may only be the 'domestic servant' bit that is being ditto'ed - a 19-year-old female gardener is perhaps unlikely ?); and next door Eastbach [House - deleted]Court' contains Cook domestic, Lady's maid and a housemaid. Next door on the other side is Maria Evans, 18, 'employed at House'. We're definitely in chicken-coop territory. Fascinating !
