NOTE: 1871 CENSUS OF EVERTON, LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND
1: After a thorough search of the 1871 Census indexes I can not find any trace of William & Mary Weights. It is possible that their surname has been so badly corrupted by the enumerator that they will be nearly impossible to locate. I have tried every variation of Weights I can think of with no success.
