Information about Great Grand Father

The Death Cert age of Richard may be whats wrong. The ages given are wholly dependant on the informant having correct knowledge.
Who was the informant?
What is his age on his NZ Marriage Cert?

If your Richard was born Oxfordshire with a Father Isaac, that is the only possible Census that fits.

Thanks Trish1120 & Denmart18.

I concur with your feedback/comments and while not true in all cases there are certainly situations where details entered on records have proven to be incorrect and this is certainly looking the case for our Richard Andrews.

Death record for Richard is July 6 1932, the age on his death is recorded as 86. The marriage record shows Richard at August 5 1878 DOM to be 30, to Margaret aged 19, at Oamaru NZ. The 2Q 1847 is  closer fit that what I had previously.

Thanks again and I appreciate your interest.

By 1871 it looks as if the family are split up as Charles and Ellen are listed as paupers in the Workhouse in Headington Oxfordshire.

George is a farm servant, lodging in Marston.

I cant see Richard, so that would fit with him emigrating in 1864.

Been quiet for a few days confirming information at the NZ End.
)I have searched the FreeBDM records and found a death record for a Mary Andrews Mar 1862 3a/367 at Headington and presume this will be the Mary Andrews 1 shown in Isaacs family in the 1861 Census Record
)I also found a record recording a Marriage of a Jane Andrews to Hubert Martin in Sept 1875 at Oxford 3a/892 this could potentially be Isaac's daughter Jane Andrews 9 from the 1861 census.
)If Charles and Ellen were in a workhouse in Headington, would they have eventually been released or discharged from the workhouse? I presume if I continue to search the freeBDM I may pick them up. I also note a few records may be online and one may need to know the 'Poor Law Union' responsible for the workhouse is there a register of these?
