Really strange as no other BMD's in Coventry for that surname from 1846 to 1866. |

Your 1861 census. The writing is terrible!! Do you know anything about parents or siblings? |

The census age is often correct but you have to remember that ages were calculated in twelve month bands. Say the census date was 07 April 1861: a person born 08 April 1859 would have their age recorded as one year, whereas a birthdate of 06 April 1859 would give an age of 2 years. |

Her marriage which you know about...but do you have the certificate? If not I think you would need to buy it to get her father's name and occupation. |
