Darren which site are you using for your census searches ?

are we thinking that a Pallett married a Douse'Douce/Dawes???

Is this a relation?

Hi Guys

Thanks for your help. I am not sure there is a connection to me but someone has contacted me and suggested that one of my ancestors, an Elizabeth Pallett, had an affair with a man named Douse. They had children but were never married. All my Palletts from this period were based in Cadeby, Leics. I have found the Douse name in Cadeby also but have not been able to make a connection. See my dilemma? :-S

stacks of Palletts in Walsall

... Sorry, Catherine Pallett, not Elizabeth

Darren, if you look at my post above there was a Mary Douse had illegitimate children by John Pallet. This would fit with her children having her surname and their father's surname as a middle name.

The parish of Mancetter where the children were baptised is about 25 miles from Walsall.

So you have no idea if any of the names you have posted are connected to you

Hi MarieCeleste.
I do have an unaccounted for John Pallett, who would be the right age. And Mancetter is not all that far away from Cadeby.
