| Census 1871 | Alfred Snelson Id #1,714 (Principal) was at home on Census night 2 April 1871 at 57 Handbridge, St. John, Chester; However I think this is unlikely. I think she is the the grand daughter of Margaret Coventry and is actually the daughter of Margaret Smelson who was unmarried at the time.
