This adds up to seven children. Remarkably none were born and died between censuses. All have at least two entries of a birth record. The two ‘Powys’ naming errors in the 1871 census are corrected by the baptisms records. The only oddity left is ‘Addington’ in the name of Herbert Addington Adams; I wonder if it was intended to be ‘Atherton’; answer, no, he used Addington consistently through his life. The inclusion of Colquhoun was probably for their second cousins at Chequers in Kent.
