Thomas Kedge's first Sophia, wife died in January 1838 her burial record says she was 48 and a possible baptism for her was on 4 Jul 1791  then from the censuses
1841
Thomas KEDGE  50
Sarah  15
Louisa  8
/ Elizabeth BARNETT  30
Mary Ann  2
Elizabeth  4 m

1851
Thomas KEDGE 63
Elizabeth Wife  Mar  42
Mary A   Daur  12
Elizabeth  Daur  10
Emily  Daur   8
George  Son  6

Mary Ann and Elizabeth look like they are on both censuses  in 1841 as Barnett and in 1851 as Kedge
which looks like they were children of Elizabeth Barnett who has now "married " Thomas Kedge BUT
no such marriage has been found and there is this odd anomaly
The GRO Index for the children born after registration
Kedge Mary Ann no mother's name March qtr 1839
Kedge Elizabeth no mother's name March qtr 1841
Kedge Emily mother Barnett Dec qtr1843
Kedge George mother Barnett Sep qtr1846

No baptisms have been found for Sarah and Louise. But Sophia would have been 43 at the birth of Louisa

What I find so odd is the children with out a mother's name usually indicates base child of a mother withher surname but in this case it looks like they have the father's name and the mother is not listed. Can anyone suggest what the real story is please.

I have some one on two censuses born in "Kimbury Berkshire" but I have failed to find where this is . Please can anyone help.

Oh dear the Welsh part of the tree is not easy

William Davies married Elizabeth Jones 16 May 1855 Michaelstone super Avon, Glamorgan
That is certain but after that!!! Both William and Elizabeth are problems but I am trying to sort Elizabeth out first.
Known facts:
Her gather on the marriage certificate was Evan Jones a labourer.
1 from the censuses after their marriage her birth place and age is given as follows
61  32 fromLlanfyangleabercowyn,           next to St Clares
71 42 from Caermarthenshire Langynog        next to St Clares
81 50 fro St Clares,

I have a hand written "Tree" compiled from a conversation a Canadian "cousin" had with his grand mother in the 1980s giving Elizabeth born in the parish of Langynog 22 Jul 1829

F M P has an entry in the Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel Llangynock for an Elizabeth born 22 Jul 1829 parents Evan and Jane JOHN

I have not found Elizabeth in 1841 or 1851 as either Jones or John.

Is it possible that is the one at Ebenezer? Can anyone helpto find Elizabeth in 1841 or 1851 Please.

Next  also at Ebenezer are John born 20 day of December  1831 and Rachel registered 15 Mar 1834 to the same parents and in 1841 Piece: 1382 Book: 20 Folio: 6 Page Number: 3 Llangunnock there is an Evan John with with John age 10 and Rachel age 7 but his wife appearsto be Harriet ! I think the same family are on the 1851 census Piece: 2472 Folio: 610
Page Number: 17
I can not find a burial for Jane or a marriage for Evan and Harriet, is it possible Jane changed her name to Harriet?

I would be grateful for any ideas on these problems , thank you

Help this is a long shot
I know John Needle served with 14th Dragoons in Ireland from 1815 - 1819.
He has been identified moving between Monaghan, Dundalk and  Portobelo Barracks Dublin during that time. He returned to England about June 1819.
He had a daughter baptised in 1820 in Richmond giving his wife as Bridget on later occasions she was Elizabeth born 1793 in Londonderry
Can anyone suggest how I can find their marriage and so her surname?
I did look in the military marriages in Kew back in 2008 but only for John and Elizabeth not Bridget
I will be grateful for any clues where to look
Thank you
