That's the one I found but I found a reference to a Mary Beddow marrying William Ellis and having 9 children. Not sure if there are two of them or if I'm wrong with my info. This will spur me on to send off for Joseph's birth cert (which I should have done but am currently working on my elusive grandfather so this file has been moving down the heap of things to do for a couple of months now!).

32JJ ??? Good grief Ann! I just about make a 32C - but not all makes - I'm between a B and a C. My OH reckons they're like two pickled onions on an ironing board!

That's them Evie - I think the enumerator has rounded down the ages of some of the children as they are not two sets of twins!

Overzealous (lazy) enumerator, or parent -- ages were supposed to be rounded down in 1841 only for adults / over 15s.

I've long had a feeling that some people rounded their ages down in 1841 and then just stuck with the number they'd picked. I have a 2xgr grfather who is just too consistently 20, 30, 40 etc. yrs old, and I don't trust his math. Not that I can find him being born or his parents marrying anywhere, anyhow.

Well, well thank you all very much, you've all been busy while I was snuggled up in bed with a headache and a couple of pain killers. By the way I beat you 36C!
