It sometimes helps to have a fresh pair of eyes. I have gone down a completely differant road that I didn't need to be on only to kick myself many months after I had realised.

You don't make the same mistake twice I assure youl

Thanks Lesley, that will teach me to look properly!
I've been searching every where for a previous marriage and the boy births.
Once again

Thankyou

Hello
In Oct quarter 1877 Ruth Scrase born 1860 Bristol married Robert Edward Hill. In the 1881 census they are living at 1,2,3 Sargents Arms in Bristol and Robert is a stay presser. They have children Charlotte 2 and Robert 10 months.
In 1891 they are at 27 Tyler Street, Bristol. Living with them as sons are Henry S Hill born 1876, Edward E 1865.
Edward E was born 1852 October quarter. This would make him 13 when he had Edward 1865 and he didnt marry Ruth until 1877. Am I missing something as I cant find a previous marriage?
Can some one please double check me to see what I am missing
Many Thanks
Marcelle
