Probably Jane's death:

Deaths Jun 1905 (>99%)
Wesson Jane 91 Croydon 2a 162

Yes I think that what I'll have to do. I've checked out Thomas, Charlotte and Jane Langford and they're all in Charlbury in 1841, while my Jane is a mother and (I thought) in Croydon.

Thanks anyway everyone.

Looking at the 1871, could James POB be Streetly, which is in Oxfordshire.

I agree Mike. The birth certificate for Paul that you posted earlier is definitely needed.

Without a positive i.d. for Jane's maiden name there are too many possibilities.

Sounds promising safc.

Charlbury is north west of Oxford, directly north of Witney - not far from Woodstock.

Mike, I think with Surrey, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire in the equation, I really don't want to introduce Essex as well!

Old Malden is slightly south of New Malden. It is on Memory-Map.

I know of New Malden, but had no idea that such a place as Old Malden exists.

Maldon is a town on the Blackwater estuary in Essex

Old Malden and New Malden are just to the east of Surbiton, Surrey

Yes safc, that's the 'other' family and nothing to do with mine.

No, I remember now. I explored that for a while, but James and Jane Weston appear together in later censuses, born Ashstead I believe. I can't find where Malden is either. So frustrating.

I've looked at that marriage before, and it's definitely a possible. Their oldest child (by 1841 census) was born about then. I've tried Surrey marriages but can't find any more details than that.
