Hi OC xxxxxx Yep her maiden name was Sollery got thier marriage details so thats why im confused just for a change lol. xxxx

Haven't got time to look at the images now as I must go to bed, but don't forget that women often lied about their ages on the census to make themselves seem younger (well, and men, too). There is one in my tree who only ages about 5 years on the census in 20 years real time! Kate.

hang on , lets try the full transcriptions 1851 Arthur Lineker Enoch, Sarah abt 1847 St Mary, Nottinghamshire, England Son Nottingham St Mary Nottinghamshire Charles Lineker Enoch, Sarah abt 1850 St Mary, Nottinghamshire, England Son Nottingham St Mary Nottinghamshire Eliza Lineker Enoch, Sarah abt 1849 St Mary, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Nottingham St Mary Nottinghamshire Enoch Lineker Sarah abt 1816 North Wingfield, Derbyshire, England Head Nottingham St Mary Nottinghamshire Sarah Lineker Enoch abt 1811 Ashover, Derbyshire, England Wife Nottingham St Mary Nottinghamshire -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1861 Arthur Linekes Enoch, Sarah abt 1847 Nottinghamshire, England Son Radford Nottinghamshire Eliza F Linekes Enoch, Sarah abt 1849 Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Radford Nottinghamshire Enoch Linekes Sarah abt 1814 North Wingfield, Derbyshire, England Head Radford Nottinghamshire Sarah Linekes Enoch abt 1811 Ashover, Derbyshire, England Wife Radford Nottinghamshire Sarah Linekes Enoch, Sarah abt 1852 Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Radford Nottinghamshire

Hi Angela xxxx I havnt got a clue :( I havnt found another marriage for him but maybe after you saying that, that the mother in law was maybe Sarah's step mum ? maybe hey thank u for helping me i really appreciate this xxxxxxxx

Did Enoch marry twice? Angela

Was Sarah's maiden name Sollery? If not, mother in law could mean she is HIS stepmother - they used the term inlaw to desribe other relationships than by marriage as we do today. OC
