bulletThe family have moved to Winchfield from Battersea and his employment as the Station Master at Clapham Junction to that of Station Master at Winchfield, so that Thomas can enjoy lighter duties due to his poor health.
bulletIt is interesting that Battersea was in London in 1881 but is part of Surrey in 1891. Was this fact or a matter of a misunderstanding as to where the county boundaries were?
bulletThings are working out well for Madeline Bessie Green as she is learning a useful skill.
bulletIn addition to the above S. Wooldridge, a fifteen year old girl was living in as a Domestic General Servant.

bulletThe term 'Inmate' is one of the options allowed in the 'Relation to ....' column on this form, the others being; Wife, Son, or other relative, Visitor, Officer, Servant, and &c.,. Inmates must have their designation stated, but it is not clear what designation means. NB What does '&c.' mean?
bulletMadeline Bessie appears to have lived somewhere else after living in Winchfield and before being in the Tooting Workhouse.  An entry in Ada Marion Green/Needle's address book reads 'Grannies Bessie 90 Fairfield Road'. Where is Fairfield Road?
