I'm looking for Edward Woan and his family in the 1871 and 1881 census. I have Edward with his parents in the 1871 census but without his family. He married Elizabeth Stead in 1866 (she was born Elizabeth Matilda Beardsworth in 1845). They had a son Richard born 1867 but the rest of their family wasn't born until a few years later. I've posted the 1901 census for them below in case anyone wants to refer to it. |

The 1911 census says that they've been married 36 years. From my calculations that would be 1875. |

Yes Margee, that's what I thought originally but in 1911 her middle name is Mattie I think which is short for Matilda and that's the 1866 one's full name and the age and place of birth are the same as 1891/1901. I have birth records for 4 children too. |

According to 1891 census, the children were born Blackburn - but looking there hasn't helped either!! |

But why does she say she's only had 2 children? |

The only reason I can think of is that there were only 2 children at home. |

Ignore the children with MMN Bleasdale, this looks like the baptism of the Richard born 1871: |
