I don't know where to start so this might be confusing.
Maria Elizabeth Lamb M 1872 to James William Varley. Her marriage certificate says that her father is George Thomas Lamb and he is a fishmonger.
The 1861 census shows George Thomas as a fishmonger with 2 children Maria and George
I have checked the GRO and can find a 1850 birth for George Thomas Lamb, MMN Row and a Maria Elizabeth Lamb B1852 MMN Row.
I can find a baptism for Maria on 22nd Feb 1852 showing the father as a hawker
Other census' for George Thomas Lamb SNR only seem to list him as an Engineer and George Thomas JNR marriage certificate shows his father to be an Engineer.
I am confused as to am I looking at 2 different people here or the same one. I can't imagine that he went from a Hawker to an Engineer to a Fishmonger and back to an Engineer.
Can anyone help make sense of this please?
