  Notes	1841 census (1): at Abbey Farm, Snape, Suffolk, Charles (39, farmer), Scipia (40), Martha (3), Anna (2) and Charles (3 months). 1841 census (2):Counted with Mary COTTERILL (30, school mistress) in Orford, Suffolk were Sarah (11), Margaret (9), Harriet (8), Betsey (6) and Francis (5). Three other (non-Groom) children were also there so presumably this was a boarding school. 1841 census (3): at the Classical School in Wickham Market, Suffolk were Henry (14) and George (12). 1851 census (1): in Snape, Charles (49, farmer of 248 acres employing 7 labourers and 1 shepherd), "Sipia" (50), Henry (26, draper), George (23, at home), Sarah (21), Harriott (18), Betsy (16), Francis (15) and Charles (10). 1851 census (2): at a school in Cumberland Street, Woodbridge, Margaret (19, teacher). Martha, Anna and Mary not found (Mary may have died in Q1 1850 (Plomesgate 12/286)). Between 1851 and 1861 it seems that Francis Groom went to Jamaica [more to come on this?]. It also seems that Francis' brother Henry adopted the name Francis as his second name - if not it means that the information recorded in his Notes is incorrect. Francis was however in England at the time of the 1871 census, staying with his brother Charles. 1861 census: in Snape, Charles (59, farmer), "Sophia" (60), Matha (sic) (23, farmers daughter), Anna (23, school mistress), Charles (20, farmers son) and Mary Louisa (granddaughter, 8, scholar, born Friston, Suffolk). 1871 census: in Snape, Charles (widower, 69, farmer of 212 acres, 7 labourers, 2 bous), "Sophia" (60), Anna (32, school mistress), Sarah TRENCH (sister, widow, 63, housekeeper, born Snape) and Minnie E WAYLING (granddaughter, 4, born Stratford St Mary, Suffolk).
