The names in the 1861 census sort of tally with the 1881.

Household Members: Name Age
John Overton 33
Elizabeth Overton 34
William Overton 9
George Overton 6
Jane Overton 5

I have just checked to see whether Elizabeth Saunders was a second wife, prior to the 1861 census but there is nothing in FreeBMD

Could be that she was married twice so a marriage would be in her married name??
