Help again with the 'Darlings' ?

[Jacrista]

Hi all, I wonder if I could run something by you again about the Darling family?

I've gathered together all the records concerning the info you helped me with the other day (thanks again) and there's one or two things I could do with advice on if you could help.

On the 1851 census 'keyboard86' suggested that George or Mary could have been married before as there is a 'George Etherington' living with them as 'Father in law' well I dug around a bit and found a record that a 'John Darling. B. 1801' was married to an 'Ann Etherington' with a father 'George Etherington' but I can't for the life of me find out who this 'John Darling' is, its too early to be the John mentioned along with 'George & Mary' on the 1871 census, also can't find any records to indicate previous marriages as 'keyboard86' suggested, so why it says 'Father-in-law' on the census I don't know, I guess it could be a mistake, any ideas?

Also I can't get my head around this change of name for Edwin, Edward John or what ever he likes to call himself, Herbert definatly has his father as 'John' on his marriage cert, so if this 'John' is 'Edwin' why would he start to call himself 'John' when he has a brother 'John' as on the 1871 census, I can't get to grips with that bit it does make me wonder if indeed I'm on the right track, what do you think?

Hello again Jacrista

I have added the link to your Darling family so others can read the info. already given

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,647150.msg4938155.html#msg4938155

It certainly looks as if it may well be the same family -  as to why Herbert's father may have added the name John to Edwin/Edward Darling I can't say  - maybe he needed to change his name for some reason 

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to check any marriages for Herbert's siblings to see what name was entered for the father  - was it John, John Edward, Edwin or Edward ?

Where there any Darling witnesses to Herbert's marriage?

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the term "in-law" used to be used interchangeably with "step".  Might the 77 year-old George Etherington be what we would now know as the step-father of either George or Mary?
