Notes for Ralph Colpitts Jr.
He’s listed in the 1851 census living with his wife and children and with his father’s family in a house in Salisbury, Westmorland County.84
Listed again with his much larger family in Salisbury, Westmorland in 1881.9

Theodore and Dinah appear with the family in the 1881 census so it is assumed they are children of this household but they don’t appear in Brian Orr’s listing of Ralph and Mary’s children.9,93
