Both the same family in 1841 and 1851 but ages don't match!!!

Remember the 1841 rounds ages up as well as down.

caza
have you found any documentation to prove samuel was their father

Mary, Grace and James all have father's name William as Maddie has posted.

following from post aviegal at 13:53 samuel in 1841 was a ropemaker
i cant see any bapt for children that fits the timeframe

I would say this is possibly the marriage of William and Joanna from Sheepwash. Note the place of birth of Joanna in 1851.

The 1841 and 1851 posted by Maddie at 12:48 could possibly be Samuel, the ropemaker. He is at the same address in 1841 with no wife.
