By the time she married in 1888, she would have been almost past child-bearing age

Have you got her marriage cert?

It will tell you details about her father............

On the 1891 as posted above, all household members show 'Not Known' as birthplace

So Horace was step father

Flick

Flick Report 31 Jul 2011 23:15

So the children were hers.............and LIGHT was not her maiden name..........unless they were all illegitimate

I am wondering if the children WERE Horace's, but Horace and Ann just did not marry till 1888 for some reason?

WILLETT Horace James 67 I. Wight 2b 439

at a guess I'd say the 'James' is significant!

Good spot

So "Ovas" James in 1881 could be Horace
