Jim, sorry but I was 'Wrong', she WAS legitimate, but her brother and sister weren't (but lied about their ages !) Very confusing ! (they were Weavers like their mother!) I DO get confused as there is also Elizabeth Weavers and Bartletts separate with different d.o.bs in same place. Christine thank you for all those , looks like will be spending some money there! Kim

Thankyou, hadn't thought of that either! Must have left my brain somewhere! Just looked on ancestry and Isaac Jennings is transcribed as Grace !! But the writing is hideous on the census, but 'Grace' is the wrong sex!? Kim

Re Elizabeth 'Leonard' 1881census born Ashton keynes Wilts b approx 1856. I have established she married John Bird in 1870 and was born as Elizabeth BARTLETT. She has son JOhn in 1872.................. Then it gets confusing , she appears to marry ?? Leonard and have a son George and appears on the 1881 census as Elizabeth Leonard married but no husband.......... with her parents in Ashton keynes age 25......... BUT IN 1891 on ancestry she is in Swindon age 35 with a new husband ? Jennings, which I can't read! George Leonard and John Bird are still with her,.......... Can anybody find 2nd husband ? Leonard or read the name of the 3rd husband 's first name on census in 1891 on ancestry? Please and thank you in advance! Cheers Kim
