Harriet Cufflin 1822-
        Harriet Cufflin was born on 30th June 1822 at Anstey the daughter of John Cufflin and Ann Wakeling.

        Amelia Cufflin was born on 26 December 1824 at Anstey to John Cufflin and Ann Wakeling. In 1851 (census) she was living with her parents at 5 Main Street Anstey working as a Milliner and Dressmaker. She married Henry Moore of Melton Mowbray at St Mary's Parish Church Melton Mowbray on 5th April 1857.

In the records of the Borough of Leicester Vol. VII p 551 Lists of Honorary Freemen, Common Hall held 5.3.1823. The following is recorded:         "...John Moore, Old Club Melton Esq. [but he didn't take up his Freemanship.]"         Could it be that John is the father of Henry? The Old Club in Burton Street was a prestigious gentleman's residence at the height of the hunting era.)

        In a letter from her granddaughter, Amelia Moore of Leicester, to William Cufflin Jnr. of Boston Mass. in 1979 she writes. 'Henry Moore was a Freeman of Leicester and at the time of my fathers (John Moore) birth in 1858, they kept a Public House "The Generous Briton" in [King's Street] Melton Mowbray, from there they went to Oakham Rutland where he was Deputy Governor at Oakham Gaol - finally he died in 1885 at the age of 63 as Caretaker of the old prison in Highcross Street Leicester. John had two sisters and a brother; Lucy Ann b.1851, Betsy b.1852 and Joseph b,1860. The family appeared to have had something of a 'nomadic' life as in addition to the movements described above the children were born variously at; Great Bowden, Muston and Melton Mowbray.

Thomas Cufflin 1826-
        Thomas Cufflin was born on 25th June 1826 at Anstey the son of John Cufflin and Ann Wakeling. The 1841 census lists Thomas as living at Southside Anstey with his parents whilst in 1851 (census) he was working as a Berlin Glove Manufacturer (probably with his father). In 1891 (census) he was living at St Leonard's Street Leicester working as a Bricklayers Labourer.

Elizabeth Cufflin 1838-
        Elizabeth Cufflin was born c.1838 and in 1841 was living with her parents at Southside Anstey. There appears to be some conflict in the census figures regarding her age, the 1841 is very faint but looks like 5 years (b.1836), the 1851 shows 11 years (b.1840), while the 1861 puts her age at 24 (b.1837)

? Davie
        It seems likely that Elizabeth and Charles had a daughter who was married to a 'Geary' as the 1851 census lists a Granddaughter Elizabeth Geary aged 12 working as a Framework Knitter at their home in Church Lane Anstey.

        By 1881 Selina was living with her widowed mother and according to a copy of the census, transcribed by the Church of LDS, had reverted to her maiden name. This is probably a mistake as Cooper-Fardell's 1881 index lists her under her married name of Sharman. Her husband Thomas, at this time was living at 15 St. Margarets Street but there is no record in the census of their son Arthur living in Leicestershire under the name of Sharman, he would have been 24 years old.
        At the 1891 Census Selina was boarding with William Grimley, a widower, at 135 Churchgate and was entered as:- Selina Cuffling, Border, married, age 54, Maker of Fancy Hosiery.
