Hi gengen, I presume you've checked the Joseph Milne died Aberdeen 27 November 1841. I know it's 5 months after the census but SP say that it wasn't uncommon on the 1841 census for a married woman to be recorded under her maiden name.

Two great aunts with birthdays:

Annie Edith Kingsman, born in Kensington in 1899, daughter of John and Annie (nee George). Annie was baptised the following month at St. Clement, Notting Hill, which is where she married Charles Horace Hill in 1920.  A sister of Charles had married Annie's brother John at the same church 3 years earlier.  Charles and Annie had one son and Annie died in1979.

Lilian Ottley Pain, born in Plumstead in 1886;  daughter of James Ottley and Amelia Sophia (nee Rainer). Every census shows Lilian living with her grandmother, aunts and uncles. Lilian married late in life in 1943 in Dorset to a widower, Percy Henry Bath.   Percy died in 1953 and Lilian in 1973 in Somerset.

On 15 June
Charles Dawson and Alice Crompton my husband’s 2 x g.grandparents married at St Mary the Virgin Church, Prestwich, Lancashire in 1842

John Broth(w)ell my 5 x g.g.uncle was baptised in Lincolnshire in 1735

Jane Middleton my 3 x g.g.aunt died at Seascale, Cumberland in 1889 aged 71, she had never married or had any children.  It was a large grave as also in the grave were her parents, 4 more of their daughters (3 who died in childhood and one who died aged 71, the same as Jane) plus another married daughter and her husband. Jane was the last of the ones to be buried in this grave, only a month after her brother in law.
 
Dameron Mann (nee Collett) was buried at Westerfield, Suffolk in 1627 aged 46.  Just a month before she was married her father died, and when his Will was proved in June 1600, Dameron Collett was one of only three of her father's eight children to benefit from his estate.  Even at the age of just less than twenty years, and despite having one older brother, Anthony, alive at that time, it was Dameron who was made the executor of her father's Will, which was very odd given the era.

Anne (Anna) Collett (nee Wood formerly Tharlow) the 1st wife of my 3 x g.grandfather was buried at Fressingfield, Suffolk in 1786 less than 2 years after their marriage.  The 2nd wife of my 3 x g.grandfather was my 3 x g.grandmother.

June 15

In 1849 my 3 x Great Grandfather James Whitney died at Bedminster, Bristol aged 58. Although he was described as "Gentleman" on death, his earlier life forms one of my biggest brick walls! I am fairly sure that he is the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Whitney, pauper, of Almely Herefordshire. I think he married Avis Wilson in London in 1814 and had a short-lived daughter Maria in Rickmansworth Hertfordshire in 1815. But when & where Avis died and when & where he remarried to Eliza (maiden name unknown) is still a mystery. James & Eliza had one son, Edwyn.

In 1885, my 3x Great Uncle Thomas Watson of Heyford Wharf, Northants died. He was the eldest son of Joseph & Ann Watson of the Globe Hotel Weedon Bec. He was married to Elizabeth Stockley Goodman and had two sons.
