Gunn marraige

I wonder if some one could help on this one
1881 census
GUNN, Paul Head Married M 50 1831 Lab
Hasley, Norfolk
GUNN, Mary Wife Married F 65 1816
Sale, Cheshire
GUNN, Daniel Son Married M 21 1860 Bricklayer
Sale, Cheshire
GUNN, Martha Daughter In Law Married F 20 1861 Bricklayer Wife
Northwhich, Cheshire
RENSHAW, John Son Single M 3 1878
Sale, Cheshire

I would have assumed that Martha had John before meeting Paul Gunn and that her name was Renshaw.
I cannot find a Gunn / Renshaw marraige.

There is a marraige for Danniel Gunn with father Paul Gunn in 1881 in Barton in Cheshire, spouse is Martha Wakefield.

So am feeling a bit confused and would appreciate some clarification
regards and thank you
Maddie

Maddie Report 13 Aug 2012 16:10

that is a possibilty as he was staying with them in 1891 and listed as grandson and in 1901 he is listed with paul and mary as nephew. I thought one of the census could be wrong. So he could be the son of a sibling of Mary Gunn (Renshaw). So far have only found one sibling for her, Hannah born 1821 ish. There must be more
thank you
