Confusion - being at 2 places at once in 1871.
« on: Thursday 26 June 08 23:54 BST (UK) »

In 1871 my great-grandmother, Sarah Jane Burlison, b. 1843 in Bradford, was unmarried and living with her birth family. In 1881 she is recorded as living with her husband, John Limbert, b. 1846 in Knaresborough, in Bradford with 2 sons and 2 daughters. 2 of these children were born in 1865 and 1869. There is no record of any marriage between John and Sarah, so how can she have 2 young children in the 1860s and be unmarried and living with her parents in 1871?
I am most confused and it is driving me mad!
Please help, Marontog

maybe the children were John limberts -he could have been previously married?

Hello Marontog and a warm welcome to Rootschat Smiley

The most obvious possibility seems to me to be that they are children of John from a previous marriage or relationship. I haven't yet looked at the census images, but as a rule the man would have been designated head of household and the relationships of other household members (including "son" and "daughter") are relationships to him.

Have you found John in 1871 to establish that the children were not with him?

I see him with his mother in 1861: RG9/3316/14/21

...but not yet in 1871. Huh

Welome to Rootschat  Grin

Well, as the others have said, the most likely explanation is John was married previously.

This looks as if it could be John and Sarah's marriage although his name is given as Lambert


q4. 1874  Darlington  Vol. 10a  Pg. 40  Sarah Jane Burlison and John Lambert on the same page

It is the only one I can see for a Sarah Jane Burlison.

The certificate should confirm whether John was a widower.

A bizarre one indeed!

FWIW, another IGI submission (perhaps less fanciful):

SARAH JANE BURLISON
 
Birth:  02 JUN 1843   Horton By Bradford, Yorkshire, England

ROBERT BURLISON
ANN CLAYTON

I've said thanks for the welcome but it hasn't shown up. No, I can't find John in 1871.
