what i was trying to say was it looks like although Cornelius and Ann say they were married they weren't.It's not unusual my great great grandparents had nine children and didn't marry until the youngest was in her twenties.

So did I so its a bit confusing, but I'm easily confused.

Good idea David about emmigration but there are none of the correct birth years.

Let me start again what a muddle!!!
Cornelius Cousins(lots of different spellings)married Ann Tacey in 1864


Looks like they had all the children before marriage I've found baptisms for
Cornelius Tacey 1832
Henry Curzons 1834
Ann Tacey 1836
father was a wood turner is this the correct family?
