Hi guys....I am having one of those I may have gone wrong here moments,
I am looking for .....
Joseph Robinson b@1836Woburn (bricklayer in1881)
Wife,,,,,,(have as Mary A in 1881 but aged 28)!
Mary A dau b @1864 Sheep Lane Bedfordshire
Henry son b @ 1866 Sheep Lane
Lumiel son b @1869 Sheep Lane....
All living in Chapel Path in 1881
If the wife age is right for 1881 this is a second marriage and I need to find the real mother to Mary Ann age 17. I already have one MAJOR headache to explain this family to my mum as it look now that another branch have assumed their surname.
Thanks

Hi Guys......
It must be wrong on 1881 somewhere.
I do have a marriage in 1856 Woburn for a Joseph Robinson and Ann Giltrow on same page. I have been able to trace backwards from these a couple of generations. I was rechecking the family before progressing forwards with siblings and looked at 1881 for the first time tonight. It states Mary A age 28 so it threw me as I cannot see a marriage to tie it in. Mary Ann the daughter is my interest and it's ther that I have an issue with names.
Thanks

Tazzie, The IGI confirms that marriage at Potsgrove on 9 Nov 1856, Joseph was age 25 & Anne age 20
-
1881 census says wife, Mary Ann is 18
daughter, Mary Ann is 17
So Mary Ann must be second wife.

There's a death of an Ann ROBINSON born about 1836 Sept quarter 1872 Woburn district.
Can't see a remarriage though. ???

Hello
Having branched out from researching my paternal lineage (French Huguenots ... now who do I support when England play France at rugby? ;) )
I have moved onto my maternal side and found numerous branches and 1st/2nd marriages and have come across an "Annie Windmill" of Great Barford, Bedfordshire for whom I have a copy of a marriage certificate from 26th February 1916 where she married Joseph Oliver Woods a widower aged 35 in Felixstowe Suffolk whilst he was a Private in the 3rd Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment.
The certificate gives Annie's age as 36 (born @ 1880) and a "spinster" whose father was William Windmill of profession "Baker" from Great Barford, Bedfordshire.
I also have both of their death certificates and Joseph died aged 73 on the 30th October 1956 in Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire from prostate cancer.
His wife died a few months before him aged 77 years on the 4th of June 1956 from pulmonary tuberculosis.
There is an age discrepancy as at their wedding Joseph was 1 year younger than Annie however their death certificates make Annie 4 years not 1 year older. 77 appears to be more correct and I will investigate more on the birth of Joseph....
Anyone with any information on the Windmills I would be grateful to hear from them.
Many thanks
