NotesTop
The 1861 census has her and Mary and Walter living as lodgers with a Henry Dalton, under her maiden name.
The 1871 census has her living now under the name of Wiltshire, as a servant (house keeper) to the same Henry Dalton.
The 1881 census list her as an "Annuitant", however a probate search shows that neither Henry Dalton nor her father left a will, so the source of her annuity remains a mystery.

Clara was never married to Henry Dalton although it is believed that he was the father of Mary, Walter and Alice.
