Odds are the birth wasn't registered |

Not convinced the age is 4 - could easily be 11 |

He died in 1869 Erika. I am wondering if there is a mistake here as I have found a daughter born 1860 registered as Sidonia but then called Zadoniath. as she does not appear on 1871 I am wondering if it could be her name with the age completely wrong. I know she exists as she married in 1880 . A bit of an enigma :-| |

Snap :-D. Looking again at the census it looks like 11 has been crossed through and it now looks like a 4 what do you think |

Joseph had died in 1869 and I now believe it is a mis transcription of Zadoniath Malyon. Your opinions on this would be appreciated |

It does look like Zacriah, age 11, on 1871 census. |

Thank you all, I believe Sidonia was one and the same as Zadoniath as the birth was the same year . As you say it is a very unusual name and could have easily been misheard depending on how they pronounced it. |

There is the image of a baptism in 1821 in Ashton-under-Lyne in non-conformist baptisms of a Zedoniah Stanley (possibly an earlier ancestor of the family you are looking at) and the writing is beautiful and very clear indeed. She is the seventh daughter of Edward Stanley and Phoebe (nee Warmley). |
