Do you have this for his parent's names? It's just that he is living with his grandparents in the 1861 and 1871 census with no father around so it is possible that he was illegitimate and the deceased father on the marriage certificate was "made up" in order not to lose face in front of the in-laws.

joseph and harriett are my great grandparents, the dead soldier is the problem, can find no trace of him in military records

Lesley,

You need to buy his birth cert.

nudge

pretty please

The 1881 census image definitely looks like the surname for Joseph is Severn and not Levern, so it looks as if Joseph WAS the illegitimate son of Millicent.

The birth certificate (reference given earlier) will confirm or refute this.

Kath. x

Thank you Kath

I hope g comes back to take a look

Lesley

I have also tentatively come to the conclusion that this Joseph Severn is probably an illegitimate son of Millicent, but have not been able to locate a baptism.

There is a baptism for Charles Hunt Severn at Neepsend that clearly gives his mother as Millicent, spinster. Charles was born 1865 but baptised March 10th 1869. There is more information on my tree.
