2 Hepzibah Bailey Birth dates

[Prue]

Thanks for the parish Register note it makes it more interesting.
I can't  find James Bailey in the 1841 Census.   Although Lydia is listed with Joseph and Smith Bailey both age 15.   35 year old Robert is on the same page and his family on the following page. Would Lydia have been listed as a widow if James was dead?
Regards,
Prue

Hi Prue
Sadly the 1841 doesn't give marital status. I've had a look for James too but can't see him. What about Hepzibah, would she have been married by 1841? There is a Hepzibah Bailey but she is 30, she is living with a Joseph age 60 in Souldrop.

On the 1841 census, the Hepzibah Bailey that Jan found is daughter of Simon Headland, she was christened Souldrop 24/May 1807. A Epzibah Bailey married Daniel Edwards at Knotting on 25/12/1849.

Daniel Edwards was previously married to Elizabeth b 1806 Not in Beds

Also a John Bailey married Temperance Edwards on 22/Mar 1798 in Knotting

Hi,
 I have Hepzibah married to Joseph Whiting  2nd June 1852 in Olney . I think this is  right as on Emily Whiting's marriage certificate she gives Joseph Whiting as her father,  I suspect he is her grandfather as her mother Elizabeth is unmarried.
On  a very faint page of 1841 Census I think it shows Hepzibah as Hessey age 20. I have not found her in 1851. Still searching, thanks for helping.
Cheers,
Prue

Prue, That ties in with the 1861 census, in Olney, Bucks

RG9/874  Folio: 57  Page: 26.

Joseph Whiting age 30 born Horton Northants, married to Hepzibah age 39 born Sharnbrook, with children Thomas 7, James 3 & John 1

On the 1851 in Olney is Joseph Whiting, unmarried age 20 born Gt Houghton  (which is different to, but very close to Horton) - he's a lodger - along with John Whiting age 22.

HO107/1723  Folio: 580  Page: 3

The 1841 taken from the CDrom set shows her quite clearly as Hepsey Bailey 20 FS born in county, in the household of Joseph Eaton, 65, although looking at the image on Ancestry it's faint but still quite discernible as Hepsey

Making progress until I come to Joseph Whiting. In 1841 Joseph  age 11 and his brother are with  Jemima Denton and son Robert Denton.  I had a Jemima Mackaness married to Thomas Whiting in 1827 Houghton, then Thomas Whiting
seems to have died and Jemima is not mentioned as a widow anywhere  but with Robert age 2 son of Jemima and the Whiting boys living with them it would seem that she has married a ? Denton.  Has anyone any other suggestions?  this family is so confusing I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Joan

The IGI does have 2 baptism entries for John 1828 & Joseph 1830 Whiting in Horton, Northants to Thomas Whiting & Jemima Whiting. Doesn't say they are extracted or member submitted.   There is a FreeBMD death index of Thomas Whiting in Hardingstone RD (covers Horton, Houghton, Brafield) in Dec 1841 - but he may have died in Olney ?
