I am hoping someone may be able to help me. My G Grandfather Edward Bowerman married Emma A M Tratt in 1884 in Exeter, certificate says he was 36. Cannot fine a birth that fits in. 1851 census shows him aged 2 with parents Richard and Eliza. I think they died by the next census. I cannot find him in 1861/71/81. I know he went to Australia after that and was killed out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jayne :-)

Just checking that Richard is definitely his Father from the marriage certificate?
Have you found his parents' marriage?

Wrong age on 1851 census?
Births Dec 1846
