My Ann Vigus seems to appear twice on the 1861 Census, I dont know that her daughter Elizabeth married Holman, I am only assuming that because Ann has a grandchild called Elizabeth Holman on the 1861 Census Can anyone shed some light please 1861 England Census Name: Ann Vigus Age: 48 Estimated birth year: abt 1813 Head Kenwyn, Cornwall, England Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth A Holman 3 (Grandchld) Ann Vigus 48 Edward Vigus 18 James Vigus 17 Jane Vigus 7 Lavinia Vigus 9 Mary Vigus 21 Richard Vigus 22 Samuel Vigus 12 1861 England Census Name: Ann Vigus Age: 49 Estimated birth year: abt 1812 Relation: Mother-in-law Gender: Female Where born: Kea, Cornwall, England Household Members: Name Age Elisha Holman 35 Eliz Ann Holman 25 Ann Vigus 49

Thank you for that, yes i did find a marriage, but how can Ann Vigus be in the same place twice

What happened could be that Ann was visiting her daughter on census night and was entered on the schedule correctly. Her family where she usually lived put her on their form either because they forgot she wasn't there that night or they thought that they had to put on all the family who usually lived there. Alternatively Elisha got confused as to the night that Ann was visiting. There are quite a few instances of this on the various censuses.

why would Little Elizabth nessesarily be daughter Elizabeths Daughter? ? who does she appear with later?

going back to 1851 there are two differnt ladies again, both by the same name. 1) Ann Vigus John abt 1815 Kea, Cornwall, England Wife Kea Cornwall 2) Ann Vigus Richard abt 1813 Kea, Cornwall, England Wife Kenwyn Cornwall Which one is yours?? 1) Ann Vigus 36 Edward F Vigus 3 Mo James G Vigus 4 John Vigus 38 John Vigus 11 Mary Ann Vigus 8 Richard G Vigus 13 William Vigus 7 2) Ann Vigus 38 Edward Vigus 9 Eliza Vigus 13 James Vigus 7 John Vigus 18 Mary Vigus 10 Richard Vigus 39 Richard Vigus 12 Samuel Vigus 2

My Ann is married to Richard, the second one, she is Elizabeths daughter because Elizabeth married Elisha Holman
