Census Data
The 1841 Census is the only one which gives Matthew and Lucy at the same address and the assumption that they are a married couple is based solely on that. However, Lucy also appears on a second census return for that year living separately to Matthew.[12] Nearly all the other census returns on which Lucy appears, until her death in 1882, list her as a visitor or as a relative staying with the home owner. From 1861 onwards, Lucy is listed as a widow.
Matthew is listed as living in Lenton and the neighbouring district of Radford. Rolleston[13], where Lucy was born, is 15 miles north-east of Nottingham. In 1851, she is listed as being at Weir Mill in Linby, 9 miles north of Nottingham. Both locations were linked to Nottingham via the railway by the mid 1850s. In the remaining censuses, Lucy is listed in Nottingham and Lenton.
The spelling of "Reville" varies from census to census and, in some cases, it is difficult to read the exact spelling from the handwriting.
1841
There are two separate census returns listing Lucy. Firstly with Matthew and then separately with her other children.
- address: "facing the long row", Lenton

- Lucy Reavill (aged 40)
- Elizabeth Reavill (aged 7)
- Ann Buckle (aged 33) — occupation: lace maker
It's unclear exactly what relationship the seven people have, but it seems probable that Mary Barker (b. ~1761) might be the mother or aunt of Lucy and Edward.
- address: Rollestone
- Mary Barker (aged 80)
- Edward Barker (aged 35)

- Lucy Revill (aged 40) — mother, occupation: milliner(?)
- Sarah Revill (aged 13) — daughter
- George Revill (aged 3) — son
1851
Ann Shaw was born in Rolleston, so it seems possible that she was Lucy's older sister.

George and Elizabeth (born in Rolleston) are listed as unmarried, which implies Lucy's maiden name was Barker and George's mother was Lucy and Elizabeth's sister who presumably married a man with the surname Smith. George is listed as living on George Street with aunt Elizabeth in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Censuses.

The maltster would then modify the barley,using nature as part of the process, to allow the brewmaster to be able to make beer from it. The barley was malted to the brewmasters specification, to ensure the brewmaster being able to produce the beer flavor, and alcohol content he desired." (from All Experts)
