I now feel quite sure Albert G Langley is son Abraham Langley shown in the 1881 census above. It is not unusual for our Ottolangui family members to use alternative names eg: Aaron – Arthur/Albert/Alfred, Israel-Alfred, Abraham-Richard, Jacob–John/Jack, Elisha-Alexander etc.

 

Census 1901 – The street address is hard to read:  possibly it could be:

13 Regents Row, Private House, Haggerston, Shoreditch, London

William F Mulville            Head       Marr 28 yrs       Horse Groom Shoreditch, London              
Jesse Mulville Wife Marr 26 yrs   Shoreditch, London
W F Mulville Son     2 yrs   Shoreditch, London
Maryann Langley Aunt Widow 53 yrs Artificial Florist                    Shoreditch, London

 

I feel quite sure this is our Mary Ann, although I have no proof yet!

Mary Ann is now living in the same area ‘Haggeston’ with her nephew William Frank Mulville or perhaps his wife is her niece Jessie Mulville nee Redwood.
