Don`t worry Frances...we`ve all got some of those...the more you find out, the worse it gets...and just because I can`t find a marriage dosn`t mean there wasn`t one............that may not be the correct Wilson Adcock, but if it was it would explain why there was no marriage for Eunice and John.

Hi Nicky,
I think I wish to disconnect myself from this family, it only gets worse the more we delve.........................

Think maybe Wilson Adcock didn`t die c1881....and can`t find a marriage for Eunice and John dodsworth.....think she may have not been telling the truth on the 1911 census when it states they`ve been married for 30 years...

No Nicky, I think I have found the answer in the 1881

Wilson ADCOCK
Head M Male 25 Thurlby, Lincoln, England Silver Cleaner (Silversmith)
Eunice A. ADCOCK

Georgina ADCOCK
Daur Female 1 Leeds, York, England
George A. ADCOCK
Son Male 5 m Leeds, York, England
Dwelling: 30 Runcorn Street (E), Leeds, Yorkshire

Eunice is on her second marriage with John Dodsworth

Sorry Nicky, seems we both found the answer at the same time

Got her...

Eunice first married Wilson Adcock in 1878, must have had Georgina with him, then he died? and she married John Dodsworth in 1880

Could this be the parents marriage...one of the brides is missing, could it be Eunice? maybe her maiden name was Adcock? if you notice on the 1911 census they state they`ve been married for 30 years ....and Georgina is 31, so think she was probably illigitimate...

Thank you all for the weird goings on. At least it's not me losing it. I hadn't seen anything of the name Dodsworth before, could there be a Garbutt/Dodsworth marriage??? Further investigation necessary.
Yes, the 1881 census supports the Whitby family.

Maybe he wasn't the child of both of them...?

I recently came across a scenario where the eldest child on a census was obviously born before the marriage.
It turns out ( bought certs ) that the eldest daughter did not belong to the wife, but was the illegitimate daughter of the husband and a young servant girl in his grandparents' household.
She was born 3 years before the marriage, but her mother had died aged 20., so the father raised his daughterr with his subsequent family.

Thank you Londonbelle, maybe it's FreeBMD that's letting me down because there are no Garbutts born in Wetherby at the right time.
And they were along way off getting married when George William was born, Gwyn
