I need help with the hand writing on a 1861 census there is extra stuff written on the relationship part I can't make out what it says,

I can send you a copy of the original or if you have full access to ancestry the information to find it is

Joseph Green James 1818 Walsall, Staffordshire, England

Living at Wellington Christchurch Shropshire

Hi Thomas

that looks right, is he living with Mary Jones??
cause i look at the side cause you said it was apartments it looks like he was 193 & they were in 194 have they put him in the wrong house???

Mary is down as Wife of Head.

193 & 194 are the schedule Nos not house or apartment Nos.
I think though that means that they are in different adresses (ie different houses or apartments). I could be wrong though.
