[Poole Conundrum]

Gosh I am driving myself mad with this one now!

On the census' I have a
Emily Poole Chant (1869)
Caroline Poole Chant (1870)
Mary Jane Poole Chant (1872)

All born before the suspected wedding of Henry Chant and Mary Ann Poole.

As Henry was married before these could be children from his previous marriage (and all of these children are baptized later once the family move to Manchester).

'Caroline' would appear to be a family name of Mary Ann Pool/Butcher (her mother) so could be relevant there.

Maybe Henry was living with Mary Ann but wasn't free to marry until 1873?

It gets weirder and weirder each time someone finds something 
I know on Henry & Mary Ann's wedding certificate there is approx 20years between them, so possibly waiting for existing spouse to pass away prior to marrying.
Would explain why all the older children were baptized with the surname 'Poole Chant' at a much later date in Manchester. Possibly finally had opportunity to make it 'proper'. 

[josey]

But I can't find that Henry & Ann or children in 1861 [yet] so don't know if Ann was alive then.

[rosie99]

Thinking about it - on the suspected wedding certificate for Henry Chant & Mary Ann Poole, it lists her dad as William Poole. I assume then this would mean her mother (Caroline) was married to William Poole prior to William Butcher then?
Even more confusing with everyone having similar given names 

It was not unusual for a child in this situation to invent a father with the same first name as the man their mother married
