What happened to your post Mike? It says !Report issue at the top and then there's a big gap until your message.

Yeah, aged 10, I think he would be too little to be married. But I can't figure why he is a stepson when neither Elizabeth or John has been previously married.

1851 original actually says Son-in-Law ( though it probably means step son )

Elizabeth HOCKING was born about 1821 or 1823 in East Lynn, Cornwall. On 4 Oct 1848 she married John Rutherford in the Parish of St Mary, Dover, Kent. I have quite a lot of info on John's family but I have very little on Elizabeth' s background. Elizabeth died in 1876 in Camberwell, London.

I think her dad was John HOCKING born about 1791 but I don't know where. And her mum was Lucy ?? born about 1791.

In the 1851 census for Dover, Kent for Elizabeth and John RUTHERFORD it says there is present one William PRICE aged 10 years old, mason, born Dover as being a step son. John hadn't been married before and Elizabeth seems to have gone from HOCKING to RUTHERFORD, no other marriage known.

Is anyone able to give me more info on Elizabeth's birth date, details of her parents and some ideas as to how they have a stepson with a different surname when neither has been married before??

As always, any help is gratefully accepted.
