I've tried to explain this story a lot without it sounding long winded and very confusing. So below I have copied some research I have based on my 3X Great Grandmother, Caroline between the 1861 and 1911 censuses. Two families seem to cross over and two surnames are used for marriages and births. Desperately need some help or at least another person's viewpoint of this as it is driving me crackers. Caroline and her siblings were registered at birth as Butchers but seem to use the Didlock surname as well.
You might find it easier to start from the bottom and work your way up. Hope someone can shed some light on this!
