The elder 2 children are listed after the younger 2 which is unusual. Families are generally listed chronologically.
I would say there's every chance this is a 2nd marriage.
Ozi.

I can only find information on what I think is this family on the 1881. Cant get back any further and no marriage records for William and Eliza.

It was written down on an envelope in my nans writing and passed to me on her death. I know that we should never take this information as a definate but what more can I do. For some reason my nan never spoke about her side of the family.
I have managed to go back to the 1700's on my grandad 'BELLS' side.

This might be a silly question but how do you know your Grt Grandads parents names if you dont have his birth cert?
A marriage cert will give you his fathers name but only the birth cert will tell you the name of his mother.
Has the info been handed down? Written down? Sometimes those can get a little distorted.
Do you have the family on the 1871?

I am new to this and need some advise. I have found a family on the 1881 census which I think maybe my missing link. But how can I be certain they are the people I am looking for and not just a coincidence. ELIZA WILLETT ABT 1844 SPOUSE WILLIAM WILLETT living with a James Baker and a Tabitha Baker (down as lodgers).
Basically I have been trying to trace my great great grandmother for the last 2 years but only have the basic of information. My great grandfather WILLIAM WILLETT BORN ABT 1842, BRIXTON SURREY. married (can only assume he married as again cannot find any record of this) ELIZA WILLETT (nee WATSON) born abt 1844 Brixton Surrey. Her death is written in some family papers as 21 April 1888. I know of a son my great grandad WILLIAM WILLETT BORN ABT 1864-1867 although cannot locate a birth to confirm that this was correct.
I seem to hit brick walls and dont know where else to go to get any further. HELP PLEASE BEFORE I GO DOLALLY x
