Census 1841	Living with parents and family at Leeds, Yorkshire. Not entirely convinced about this. The names and ages are roughly intact, but why would the whole family be in Leeds?

Also, she (?) appears on later census records with a few years shaved off the age. Have checked all the Hawnby 1841 census records, but Robert isn't there, so this may well be correct.
