1851-1861 lookup please

I think I will have to also go through the birth records to see if the daughters were registered as Youngmans. I'll let you know.

They were registered as Fox, but Susan married in 1876 as a Youngman.
The usual explanation would be that they were the children of Edward and a Miss Fox, but he appears to marry a Willer. Perhaps Edward himself was illegitmate, the son of a Miss Fox.

Edward was born in 1820 and baptised in Gresham as Edward Fox.  His mother was Ann Fox.  She married John Youngman on 16 October 1821 at Gresham, Norfolk.  Edward married Susan Pinson 5 May 1842 at Gresham and they had
Mary Ann Fox, born 1843, and Susan Fox born 1847 (Mother Susan died in 1847).  Edward married Harriet Willer in 1852 in North Walsham, and signed the register as Edward Youngman or Fox.  His second family were baptised as Youngmans and Mary Ann & Susan became known as Youngman. I am descended from John's second marriage.

Hi Pat,
Thank you for clearing that up for me, I just couldn't get my head around it so had put it to one side to come back to later. Maybe I can now do some more work on it.
Thanks again,
Joan
