Thank you Liz and Fc. I will close this one now as i cant keep up with you two :-) thank you both very much for all your help. deb x

The registers have more than one couple on a page, the other names are people who married that are on that same page.

There was space for 2 couples on the marriage register page, but on freebmd they are listed alphabetically so you have to guess who partnered whom. Liz x

FC. Thank you for the info. What are the other two names on the list? I am easily confused :-/ deb

Ok, I don't mind at all, give me a min...

1861. Hannah still a servant.

No, I just double checked and Thos was unmarried in 1871, not widowed. Oh, I do love a mystery! Liz x

HI Liz. Gosh, your brain is working hard :-) As i am still learning with all this, only been a member since may but getting there. Would i get her birth certificate from the normal source GRO? If that is the case, would you mind seeing you you can get a ref for me please, cheeky i know. Thank you again deb :-)

Have you noticed that Esther b1864 is with John and Thos in 1871, but then has been absorbed into the Davis family in 1881. I wonder if Thomas's wife died, and Hannah and James adopted her, as Thomas is lodging elsewher in 1881. It would be interesting to obtain her birth ceret to see who her parents are. Liz x

That was the 1881 census with daughter Hannah. This looks like Hannah in 1851.
