Thos Maltby 35 clothier b England ?
Easter Maltby 35
William Maltby 9
Elizabeth Maltby 8
Thos Maltby 6
Sarah Maltby 4
Ann Maltby 1
Willm Maltby 23 clothier b England ?

The census taker was unsure if Thomas and (brother ?) William were born in England so he put question marks. If he'd heard them speak, wouldn't their Leeds accents have been a giveaway ?
