Incidentally, I don't know whether you had found this, but I noted that Frederica and her mother also seemed to use the name Thomson on earlier censuses. |

I'm guessing that he either married overseas for some reason, or he did not marry the mother(s) of his children for some reason unknown ...... |

There is this possible marriage:- |

People lied quite a lot. You can't believe everything you find on any record. However he could possibly have been married to someone else and so wasn't free to marry the mother of the children. People often said they were widowed when really they had just split up with their partner because divorce was extremely expensive and difficult to get for the ordinary person. |

I agree. The mystery of Joseph Pedley Ablett lies in the Census data from 1881 (unmarried), 1891 (married) an 1901 (widowed). |

The births would seem to suggest that the parents were NOT married. Sidney Joseph Ablett are forenames and the surname is Thomas. Illegitimate children were often given their father's surname as a middle name and no mother's maiden name appears on the GRO birth which also indicates an illegitimate birth. |

Not yet ordered the birth certs - found Sidney and Frederick on GRO yesterday. |

Have you got the birth certificates for the two children? Did they have Thomas or Ablett as a surname? |
