On the 1861 cenus my 3 x great grandmother Elizabeth Pound, has stated that she is a widow, on a pension, husband Captain RN. She is living with her nephew, who no dount gave the details to the enumerator. |

When did Charles Pound die? Have you considered the possibility of a second marriage after the death of Charles? Though it would be quite a step up in society for her to marry a captain in the Royal Navy such things are not unheard of. And a few captains started their naval careers "on the lower deck". |

Are you sure the occupation on the certificate isn't a mistranscription of Sailor rather than Tailor. I've seen this several times before. |

Maybe it was her father's occupation - or perhaps the occupations of one of her sons and she was a bit confused ... ? |

Could this be their marriage? |

Kathleen- Yes maybe the vicar was hard of hearing and he thought it was Tailor, and it was Sailor. must think on that one. |

Actually kath meant a literal mistranscription of the T of tailor for the S of sailor, not a mis-hearing by the vicar |
