Linda,

I think she's older than she admits.

I think she was born c1835. It ties in with her last child being born when she was 42 in 1877.

am unable to locate Hannah from the 71 census before then. If I could find Thomas with his parents on census we could order that marriage cert and see if fathers name and occ fit

thank you Rose, I looked at that one, makes it sem more likely when you picked up on it too. Just strange both names should be wrong on it

Can't find a birth that matches that Emma either

bhfab39,

The 1875 date only applies to births. A registrar would have officiated for any marriages.

Don't think that's her birth. The other censuses make her older than that.

She's born c1843 in 1871.
c1839 in 1891
c1840 in 1901.
