COMPLETED THANKS Grandaughter in Law?? What does that mean?
« on: Tuesday 07 October 08 08:54 BST (UK) »
Can anyone guess what this relationship stated on the 1851 census actually means:

1851 Alley, Cranborne.
George Harvey, head, 57, ag lab, b Cranborne.
Elizabeth Harvey, wife, 54, b Tarrant Keynston, Dorset. Charlotte Harvey, dau, un, 26, b Tarrant Keynston.
William Harvey, son, un, 23,ag lab, b Tarrant Keynston?.
Charles Harvey, son, 19, ag lab, b Tarrant Keynston.
Lydia Goven, dau in law, unm, 30, b Tarrant Keynston. Elizabeth Goven, grand daur in law, 3,   Cranborne.
Mary Jane Harvey, grandau, 3, b Cranborne

Grandaughter  in law?

Also note that Lydia Goven, daughter in law is Unmarried   ::)

On the 1841 Lydia is Lydia Harvey.

Elizabeth Goven was her illegitimate daughter, bapt 1848:

bapt7; May 1848; Elizabeth (illegitimate) HARVEY; Daughter of; Lydia; Cranborne; ; J.H. Carnegie (Vicar)

Does this mean her father was called Goven?

Any ideas?

Hi Julie,

Daughter in law is often stepdaughter, so logically granddaughter in law = stepdaughter's daughter

 :) That sounds feasible.  It's the same in french I believe, ie in-law and step- are the same word

Ooh! That was a good thought.  Found baptism on the IGI for Lydia Gover 3 Jun 1821 Tarrant Keynston. Mother Eliza Gover.
I think that is 'mystery solved!' ;D
