In 1871 the couple live with 12 year old niece Harriet Ansley (born in Liverpool). Harriet was the daughter of Harriet's sister Eliza who had also moved to Liverpool[4]

In 1881 the couple, aged 47 and 48 live in Walton on the Hill, Liverpool. William was a Prison Warder. Niece Ida Gifford (b. Yorkley) lived with them. She was the daughter of Harriets sister Phoebe [5]
