Hi Willow,

It is because whoever did the transcription didn't look very carefully at the page :) (to be fair they have a very poor copy of it on FindMyPast).

Enoch looks to be aged 52 and Rhoda aged 51. Enoch looks to have been a blacksmith (which matches what you found in 1871)

Have been on BMD and found his marriage cert. he married Mary Hannah Barrett and was married in castleford, I am sending for their marriage cert hoping that will tell me more.  He and Mary were married in December 1889. I think the occupation  as miner (1901 census) is correct as his son Samuel, who is my hubby's grandad was also a miner.  Thanks to all for helping.

Marykb74 found my husband's grandad Samuel, in 1911 census he was 16 and working as a underground pony driver, he was living with a Family called Godber with his 2 brothers.  I have been told by my hubbies sister that Samuels parents died when their 3 children were still, hence living with another family.  Am going to try and find out when his parents died.

Received John and Mary Baker's marriage cert and nothing in the space for John's father, it is crossed through with a line - could this mean he was illigitimate? Is it law to include the fathers' name if it was known?  Mary Bakers name before marriage was Barrett. It looks like John was born in 1860 not 66 as was previously thought.

More than likely he was illegitimate then.
Though he may have just chosen not to give a name.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Are you sure about Bilston being in the Wolverhampton district? I am trying to trace the birth of my grandfather John Thomas Roberts (three of the commonest names in England!) between 1874 and 1878, born in Bilston but BMD has none in Wolverhampton but some in Dudley, Walsall, and West Brom _ Bilston is about equidistant  to all four. Any thoughts?
