i dont understand this?

[redspookhunter]

in my research i have a marraige;
SIDNEY JOHN PERRYMAN
and
AURELIA THOMAZINE DOWELL jan-mar 1882 vol 5b pg 25
but on all census returns 1891-1901
AURELIA is down as wife ELLEN
but when two of her sons die in WW1 it says sons of SIDNEY and AURELIA PERRYMAN not only that but SIDNEY on 1861 rg9 1375 folio 25 pg 15 and 1871 rg 10 2037 folio 27 pg 14 cencus is listed as SYDENHAM  but in 1881 he is listed as sydney rg 11 2131 folio 19 pg 1 i know these are the right people so why the name changes

Well thats her registered name at birth - albeit they struggled to read it ...

maybe she didnt like it and used Ellen for simplicity

Have you found her on the earlier censu ?

[Necromancer]

1871 - the Enumerator didnt even try - line is blank !


RG10/2037
Honiton - Branscombe
Folio 38  
Page 10  


She probably got so fed up with it that she used Ellen in future years !

She certainly is in 1881 !

[Necromancer]

she was born 1856 - does that not tally with Birth year and age you saw on later census after the 1882 marriage ?
