      In 1891, niece = Lily Woolley with the couple, a scholar age 13; although Rayfield's sister Eliza was marr to a Woolley I suspect not their dau as too old; probably a niece on Harriett's side. Lily was still with the family in 1901 but as Lily Farquhar i.e. marr - no husband but 2 yr old son Albert E present (b Sittingbourne). As a 12 year old Albert Ernest was still with the family in 1911 - but Lily (who had marr Robert Farquhar in 1898) not present.
