After sending a message to a GR member i was given a link to the 1851 cesus showing John Crawford (b.03.02.1831, sunderland) aged 20 years old and living with his parents (John and Mary) and siblings Mary 17, Sarah 14, Dorothy 9 and Margaret 1, in Sunderland.
However this information contradicts the siblings names that i already have for John.
I have letters written in the 1950's stating that an Isabella Mary Crawford (03/1850), sister Elizabeth, Married a Hutchinson Youll and had a daughter Violet Jane Youll (d.06.08.1965) and i can find census records for these people. Are they related to John Crawford (b.03.02.1831) in any way?
I know John Senior (b.25.09.1810, deptford) and Mary (mn Rivitt/Revett) had four daughters and a son so is the second set of siblings is correct who are the other two daughters?
Im driving myself mad with this, any help would be appriciated!

Also i have the marriage certificate for John Crawford (03.02.1831) and a Sarah Williamson. It states that John is a Widower, but i cannot find any record of a first marriage? The marriage date is 23-07-1855 at St James Church, Benwell, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
