	CONFUZZLED !!!!!!! There are 2 '51 searches , 1 for Hannah & 1 for Charles ............. hold on ding ding ! Right so are we saying Hannah & Charles married the day after the census Hannah had filled her form in in her own right with her & her children omitting Charles as they were not yet married BUT Charles filled his out but putting Hannah on his therefore placing Hannah on 2 forms but being the same person ???????? deb x

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 766 Send Message	Looking at the image for 1851 I think that Mary is 10 (it's not very clear) which then gives Charles in1841 Charles Smith Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1821 Gender: Male Where born: Warwickshire, England Civil Parish: Nuneaton Hundred: Hemlingford (Atherstone Division) County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Registration district: Nuneaton Sub-registration district: Nuneaton Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Charles Smith 20 Mary Smith 25 Mary Smith 6 Mo Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece 1127; Book: 21; Civil Parish: Nuneaton; County: Warwickshire; Enumeration District: 22; Folio: 33; Page: 25; Line: 11; GSU roll: 464170. So Mary and John are going to be Charles' children. The census in 1851 was taken on March 30th so Charles and Hannah would not have been married - looks like Hannah filled in the form correctly and then Charles put her on again. Andy

	OK, now I understand Sarah Handley's mother Hannah married Charles Smith in 1851 and that's why the Smiths were the grandparents of little Eliza. Also explains why Sarah and Robert were daughter and son-in-law of the Smiths on the 61 census. So Sylvia in Canada your theory #2 was correct! Margaret (also in Canada)

	Sorry, I have to go to bed!!! its almost midnight here, and I have to be up about 6:30am Ouch!! I won't be on until late tomorrow afternoon, but I'll look in to see if anyone has solved the problem. I have two suggestions 1. Sarah Smith married ?? Handley then married Lapworth 2. Sarah is the child of Hannah Smith, who was a Handley before she married Charles But I can't find any of those marriages!! sylvia
