The Oliver fits in though.

Hi Marion...Yes it is the 1871 census that you looked up, but the entry for John James has been mistranscribed. On the image it states his relationship to the head of the household as 'servant' not 'son'.


1871 England Census
about John James
Name: John James
Age: 12
Estimated birth year: abt 1859
Relation: Son
Father's Name: William....This William is the head of the household, William Jakeman, John's employer, not his father.
Mother's Name: Mary A....William Jakeman's wife, not John's mother.
Gender: Male
Where born: Berrow, Worcestershire, England
Civil parish: Redmarley
Ecclesiastical parish: Worcester
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England
Registration district: Newent
Sub-registration district: Redmarley
ED, institution, or vessel: 7
Household schedule number: 91
Household Members: Name Age
William Jakeman 66...Head...Farmer of 155 acres employing 3 men.
Mary A Jakeman 64...Wife
William Jakeman 23...Son
Frederick Jakeman 10...Son
Annie Jakeman 5...Granddaughter
Ann Brumage 26...Servant....General Servant/Domestic
Williams Oliver 40...Servant....Farm Waggoner
John James 12...Servant...Horse??? Boy

I do agree with you that this William Oliver is most likely the same man that later married John's mother, Betsey, and became John's stepfather.
