The others will be on the same page in the register. But you can see both names Lewis and Jenks so this looks like their marriage.

Lisa

Lisa Report 6 Aug 2008 12:29

yes and we also found that in the 1901 census he was married to an APTIN so this is y we were finding it so hard to find anything and still its a little con

Lisa Report 6 Aug 2008 12:30

confusing as to who is who

Teresa

Teresa Report 6 Aug 2008 12:48

Hi,

With such an unuaual name I am not surprised that it is different on each census. On the 1891 census although the name is different the area born is the same so it is likely that with a place like baschuch being quoted the wife is the same one, simply using a different (perhaps middle) name.
