Curious! If John married Ann Philips in 1858 then her children on the 61 census aged 3 and 1 should be John's children and named Mills. Then again John also has a 1 year old daughter Emma. Who is her mother? |

But, Jonesey, how could they each have a 1 year old daughter? |

I don't have the marriage or death cert as I only discovered this anomoly this week. I don't know how the marriage cert will tell me it is my John Mills, his father was another John Mills! |

The 1861 census describes Ann Phillips at Boarder not wife, do you see why I am so confused?! |

I forgot about his occupation on the marriage cert. Think that will be my next move to get the marriage cert,. It just seemed odd that all the children had the right names and ages on the different census records. I thought I had sorted this side of the family out when I realised I didn't have the 1861 census and now I am more confused then ever! grrr! |

Oh brilliant, thank you, year being out doesn't really mean much as even now my husband struggles to remember what year our son was born or how old he is!! Pity John, Ann and Mills are such common names. I had no problem find Cephas!! |

I just had another look at the original of that 1861 census to see if Emma's age might have been 7 and not 1 but it's most definitely 1! |

Margaret I have just been thinking if I got the birth cert for the first child on the 1871 census who isn't on the 1861 or 1851 census then that would give the mother madien name, so that would confirm whether he had two Ann's in his live or the 1861 census is just a fluke to fool me. Am I making sense? This is driving me bonkers!! |

Where is Emma in 1871? If only 11 she should be still at home and I can't find a death. |

Thanks Margaret, as it happens I have a birthday on Friday and I am hoping that there will be money to spend on certs, so I will send off for the marriage cert and see what that brings. Thanks for your help. |
