I have a marriage for a Richard Darlison in 1867. Need help to figure out who got married - my ggggrandfather's brother or his cousin. The brother was born in 1847; the cousin was born in 1849 - both in Bethnal Green. The 1881 census has his age as 33 - so born c1848. There is a death in 1858 on FreeBMD - but which one is it? Could someone please check the 1871 census to see what the age is - he should be with wife and daughter, both named Eleanor. Cannot find the brother on 1861 census as that section is missing. At this stage - which would be more beneficial - the marriage certificate or the death certificate. (To make it more complicated, ggggrandfather's uncle Richard also got married in 1867!!)

The marriage would be more beneficial, as that will tell you his fathers name. I'm hoping they're different names!

Oooh Jess is a psychic.... c1848 - doesn't narrow it down does it? Brother Richard was born April 21 1847 - with the census on April 2nd he couldn't have said he was 24 and help us out? Tracy - luckily they are - one is John, the other Joseph. Jess, could you check the address for Richard in 1871 - I am looking for 50 Grafton Street, Mile End. I am trying this in a roundabout way - father John died in 1870, witness R. Darlison of the above address. Trying to rule out if this was his son, or his brother.
