Note the occupations: Father and one son are plasterers. Another son is apprenticed to a gilder. The occupations can be helpful when trying to distinguish between other persons in the same town, who are similar in name and age to the family being researched. In later census, the street and house number can be helpful (particularly when matching other records, such as death records and draft registration cards).
