wow,that would be interesting. If thats the right couples marriage their grand daughter also married a millard!

Thanks a lot,Michael.Think i need to send for a few certs now.Cheers.

Maybe this is George's birth

Births Dec 1860
JACKSON George Dudley 6c 79

Could this be it ?

Marriages Jun 1856
BRADFORD Mary Dudley 6c 124
JACKSON Benjamin Dudley 6c 124



Perhaps this is Samuel's birth cert which would confirm his mother's maiden name

Births Dec 1867

Jackson Samuel Dudley 6c 98

thanks michael.any chance of finding benjamins and marys marriage details please?

Possible... it's about the right age and Dudley would cover Sedgley

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deaths Sep 1891
Jackson Benjamin - 66 - Dudley 6c 32


If this is him you should still be able to find him on 1891 census

Benjamin Jackson was dead before his sons marriage in 1896.

Also would like details of John Jacksons parents if possible.John was born 1874 to Benjamin [coal miner] and Mary in Staffs[Sedgley area i think] .Thanks for any info.

Thank you very much .Will now put her in the tree im sorting .Will put her at the younger age -she may appreciate that.! Is there a reason why the census dont have a set date .Is that too logical.

Census records were not very reliable as people often gave the wrong age of someone in the house on the night of the census

And some people didnt even know their own birth year!

I wouldnt worry about a 2 year difference

Census dates:

6 June 1841
30 March 1851
7 April 1861
2 April 1871
3 April 1881
5 April 1891
31 March 1901

2 April 1911

I wouldn't worry about the slight discrepancy in age - in this game anything less than 5 years is an exact match!

jan

please could anyone help.I have details of Martha on 1911 census [aged 32yrs] with all correct offspring ,married to John Jackson in 1896,Staffs.So was born in 1879. However on getting her marriage cert ,it shows she was 19 yrs at time of marriage-therefore born in 1877 not 1879.Also shows the 1879 dob in the 1891 census in Sedgley,Staffs.May be simple to solve but im baffled easily.Also ,what date are the census done on?Thanks to all for any help.
