I have a Walter George Hyland born 1833c, Sussex. Wife Frances Lucy? born 1840c, Sussex. They have a number of children but one in particular, Nellie born 1854c is a real mystery. On the 1881 census, her birth age is 27yrs but on the 1901 census, she's only 23yrs. I can't find this family in 1891. Can someone help me please?

Here they are in 1881: Name: Walter G. Hyland Age: 47 Estimated birth year: abt 1834 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Frances Gender: Male Where born: Sussex, England Civil parish: Lambeth County/Island: London Country: England Street address: 87 Cold Harbour Lane Condition as to marriage: Married Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Coal Merchant Registration district: Lambeth Sub-registration district: Brixton ED, institution, or vessel: 27 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Agnes A. Hyland 20 Benedict A. Hyland 23 Frances Hyland 42 Nelly Hyland 27 Walter G. Hyland 47

CAN YOU POST ONE CENSUS - 1881 IF SHE IS STILL AT HOME- THAT SHOWS THE FAMILY GROUP FOR REF I DONT THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT GIRL IN 1901 SOMEHOE

Deb looking at the 1881 image Nelly is two & a half years old not 27 the transcriber has misread her age. If you would like the image send me your email address. Georgina.

Name: Waller G Hyland Age: 59 Estimated birth year: abt 1832 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Frances L Gender: Male Where born: Ellingham, Sussex, England Civil parish: Lambeth Ecclesiastical parish: St Matthews Town: London City County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Lambeth Sub-registration district: Brixton ED, institution, or vessel: 40 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Frances L Hyland 46 Nellie Hyland 12 Waller G Hyland 59 James J Pope 54 Mary A Pope 23 Emily A Stevens 30 Georgina.

Thanks Georgina, I've just looked at the image again and you might be right. It would make her over 20 yrs younger than her siblings. I'm wondering if she's actually Walter and frances' grandaughter?

Deb his wife Francis hasn't aged much from 1881 to 1891, she is 42 in 1881 & 46 in 1891, so it is quite possible she is their daughter. Georgina.

Thanks Georgina and Scarlet. You've helped me greatly. Much appreciated. Deb:)
