[Mary S is presumably Silas' sister Mary Ann Lovelock baptised on 11 Oct 1835 at Wootton Rivers. Note that parents Silas Spicer and Ellen Lovelock are not present - see additional 1891 census entry for Bath, Somerset.]

At the 1891 census Silas and Ellen were not present with their children at Kintbury, Berks. It seems that they were away from home in Bath, Somerset, as shown by the following data, extracted by Robert Sterry from the 1891 census:

Graham Lovelock 24-Jan-06 Interestingly the Enumerator wrote Silas in as 'Silas Specer', then realised his mistake and squeezed 'Lovelock' in above 'Specer', but Ellen and Rebecca were recorded as 'S Lovelock' from the start.
