FANNY A. BROMLEY is listed as Fanny A. Cliffe and has been incorporated into my Cliffe family in the 1891 census at Municipal ward of Plaistow, borough West Ham. She is listed as a wife and age 50, b.Clerkenwell, London. There is a son, Frederick, age 25, b.Paddington. The page ends there so I don't know about her husband. The page ref # isRG12/1328. It's only when you look at the original document that you can see the error.I was having a terrible time wondering how my Ggrandfather acquired a second wife! I tried to put this on 'Trying to find' but it would only let me put in names on my tree. Hope this helps someone.

If this is on Ancestry, then you can report the surname error and Ancestry will make an amendment! Sarah
