Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	So it looks like Jane Woodin was the daughter of Sarah Giles, who was the sister of his first wife Rosanna. By law (but not by blood) Jane was his niece. No worse, I think, than cousins marrying.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Belinda, I'm not convinced that she was actually his niece, but perhaps his cousin? Abel Woodin married Sarah Giles. Emmanuel married Rosanna Giles. Is that the connection?

Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 152 Send Message	Hi, Thanks to everyone whose looked, and replied so quickly. Emmanuels Mother maiden name was Price. Sisters of Emmanuel Jane married William Moore1877 droitwich Sarah Ann married William Fowler Jessie married George Thompson 1888 droitwich ( I think) I think Emmanuel first wife may have been Rosanna Giles (m.1872) Just wondering where the niece fits in.
Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 31,288 Send Message	PricklyHolly	Report	20 Dec 2011 20:17
	So in fact...........if she was the niece of Emmanuel's mother, they were possibly cousins.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Emmanuel is clearly down as head on 1881, but could Jane actually be his mother's niece? What was his mum's maiden name? Who did his father's sisters marry (if any)? A list of "forbidden" marriages: http://www.genetic-genealogy.co.uk/Toc115570145.html#Toc115570255

	Hmmm, well it clearly states "Niece" on the 1881 image. Edit: I wonder if that was error on the part of the enumerator?
