If you look carefully at the image of the 1851 .... I enlarged it to 150% ..... it is possible to see several things

1. in-law has been added in a different handwriting to the Daur for Amelia

2. Mar has been written over a - (dash) in the Condition column
The - (dash) may have been meant as unknown, but taken as equivalent to "ditto"

3. Amelia has suddenly aged 10 years ....... but it looks as though someone else has written the 2 of the 25 ....... I wonder if in fact it originally said 15



It could well be that the clerk in the office entered infromation exactly frm the enumeration sheet .......... which had Amelia as Daughter, a dash in the Condition column, and age as 15

The supervisor might then have "read" the dash as meaning "ditto", so changed Daur to Daur-in-law, and decided that 15 was too you, so changed the age to 25, or decided that the number was not very clear, so decided to write over it

???. Peter is listed as barge builder. Peter, Mary and Amelia not born in County.

I think on the 1851 census daughter in law in darker pen and the 2 in 25 is much darker than the 5.

I agree - I always like to kill them off.

Old, the census forms that we can see were compiled from the forms filled in by each household so mistakes could happen in the transcription. Possible the enumerator made a mistake when transferring the info. Maybe Amelia and Eliza were combined in some way?

I cannot find William after the 1851

Kay????

Amelia married Henry William Bradley in Newington, St Mary - in Surrey.

Have not got the certificate, but if you are referring to amelia's father, her father is shown as Peter, Barge Builder - see Potty post.

Potty

All your posts are correct - I had quite forgotten William's marriage in 1842. Have not found a death for Eliza that would have enabled him to marry an Amelia.

Should have added William's marriage to Eliza.

Margee - I would like to find the marriage to Amelia. The "in-law" looks to be in a different hand from the original Census document - were they reviewed by someone else, or taken as written?

A possible marriage for William:

Name: Eliza Peace
Spouse Name: William Nicholls
Spouse Age: Full Age
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 13 Jun 1842
Parish: Lambeth St John the Evangelist
Borough: Lambeth
Father Name: William Peace
Spouse Father Name: Peter Nicholls barge builder
Register Type: Parish Register

Amelia's marriage:

Name: Amelia Nicholls
Spouse Name: Henry William Bradley
Spouse Age: Full Age
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 22 May 1860
Parish: Newington St Mary
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: Peter Nicholls barge builder
Spouse Father Name: William Bradley
Register Type: Parish Register
Address: South St

Is this the baptism you mention:

Name: Amelia Nicholls born Nov 9 1835
Record Type: Baptism
Estimated Birth Date: abt 1835
Baptism Date: 6 Dec 1835
Father's Name: Peter Nicholls barge builder
Mother's Name: Mary Nicholls
Parish or Poor Law Union: Chelsea St Luke
Borough: Kensington and Chelsea
Register Type: Parish Registers
Address: Trafalgar Square

We're all confused... so your in the right place!!

I'm gonna go and have a look at the census info. Have you found anything, paperwork wise on Amelia?

Have you got the Henry marriage cert to see what it says about father?


Tracey x

Old,

That Amelia gives Chelsea as birth place?

it maybe that Peter was out and the information was given by Mary--stepmother and they didnt use the word--step/child/parent in those days,,more the -inlaw,so a possible its one of the same.

did the family remain in London or move back to Suffolk to account for the marriage of Amelia you found there.?

On the 51 census both son William and dau-in-law Amelia are married so I would think they are married to each other.
She couldn't be Peter & Mary's daughter as she's married so would have a different surname.
