Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 103 Send Message	Why would a couple who have children give them a different surname to their surname? eg Man and Woman's name Meredith but all children called Greenway

	Are you looking at a census entry? Could be children from the womans first marriage?

	Just a wild guess but could those children have been the offspring of a first wife of Benjamin? If he'd married their mother and she died then he might have been looking after them when he married again. Worth checking to see of Benjamin was ever married to a Greenway. Sue
