Apparently born 1844 London MDX.  Wife Jemima born 1843 Cambridgeshire.

Both fathers William
Both Mothers Mary

I am particularly interested in any info on Jemima and possible children.

Thanks for your attention

Thanks for that Jonquill.

Perhaps Ellen Maria died before 1881.  Or there are two Augustus. One b.1834 and one born 1844. 

Anyway it gives me something to work with and I appreciate your help.

Cheers

I checked the age again - Ancestry has transcribed it 27 so dob 1844 and name Marvill (I used Findmypast to find it originally) - there is enumerators mark through the age so I may be wrong about it being 37.

Maybe get second opinion from other listers?

From IGI

Could it just be a mistake and it should have read 30th Oct 1843.

If you buy the birth certificate and his birth date is 30th Oct. I think I would say these are one and the same.

Thank you ALL so much for your help.  I'm starting to see a pattern emerging.

Hopefully with a certificate or two I'll learn who Jemima was.

Thanks again

here they are in 1891
1891

augustus.w.merrill age 46. b. smithfield,london. occ. printer compositor. head
jemima age 48. b. abington,cambs. wife
hannah seagrave age 65. b. ireland. lodger
living at;25,dale street,broughton,lancs

seems to add creedence to the opinion that the death of him in 1896 in salford is the right one
