I think Isobel was his wife and he may have called her Betty then he had a daughter they called Betty so he then called his wife Isabel?????? If his first child was born in 1820 then the marriage would fit. don't forget they could marry very young in those days.

thanks for that both of you I suppose that could be right as it all seems to fit with the children it is too many for coincidence Thanks again

Got it now.

I think you can definately say that Richard married Isabel and that the person who wrote out the census misheard his wifes name. He may have said Bella.

Thank you for all this info it is greatly appreciated i can only presume that i am on the right track and isabel was their mum but goodness knows who is Betty

Yep

thank you all of you i think you might be right Mel and it as been transcribed wrong and he surely cant have been marrid before

Ages were rounded down to the nearest five on the 1841 - 1851 gives both their ages as 52

thank you guys have to go now husband home shortly to no food i appreciate all your help and efforts Susan

as the mother of the fisrt child in 1818 was isabel and the one in 1840 was mmn Riley which from marriage was Isabel Riley I think it is safe to assume Betty was incorrect (unless she was sister/sister-in-law - there were also children born to a Robert & Betty Shuttleworth)
