I don't understand. The marriage I posted was Charles Hilditch & Mary Platt in Wolstanton, then a son born to Charles & Mary same place the following year. That son shows up on the 61 and 71 census that Jen found. Are you saying it's the wrong family?

Hi Margaret and Jen,
Thanks for checking but that seems to be a different Charles and Mary.
This Charles Hilditch was born in Audley and christened at St. James's Church in Audley on 26th January 1823. His parents were Thomas and Sarah Hilditch.
Many thanks,
Kath

Hi Diane,
I have a marriage for Charles Hilditch and Mary Platt at St. Margaret's Church, Wolstanton in Sept. 1849 ( 17 308 ) confirmed on Staffs BMD C30/4/478 so I thought they would have been together on the censuses.
I saw Charles with Harriet on 1881 Census living at Audley but thought that might have been a second marriage.or another family member. I don,t know then. Was Harriet on 1851, 1861 and 1871 then Diane?
Thanks for looking for me,
Kath x
