That on the census a record of Stepson to the head would always mean a son of his wifes from previous relationship, or does anyone have another explanation. Thank's Gill |

I believe you're correct. A stepson can also be called son-in-law but I don't think the reverse is true, i.e. I don't think a son-in-law would be called stepson. Is that clear as mud? Margaret |

Thankyou Margaret, it's quite weird, on 1841 there is two sons and a daughter, 1851 the eldest is missing but there is a younger son, then in 1861 the eldest is back but is now stepson and has a different surname and there is another stepson with a completely different name,Don't know were iam with them.lol Gill |
