Lilian E Hingley, confused re parents.

[CAZI]

Thanks to this great website I have discovered that my Gt Grandmother was Lilian Elsie Hingley born in 1889/90. According to the 1901 census she was 12 and living in Walworth London, however, the head of the family is called Walter Whorlay and his wife Minnie. She is listed as daughter. The strange thing is the difference in the surnames as they have several older children with the surname Whorlay and then several younger ones with the surname Hingley, all listed as sons and daughters. Surely is there had been a remarriage this would have been the other way round. Has anyone any idea why this may be listed this way as I am very confused.

Thanks

Was Minnie much younger than Walter WHORLAY.... his children from his first marriage could well have been much older than any children Minnie HINGLEY  had from her first marriage??

Hi CAZI & welcome to RootsChat

I'm having a job finding this family on the 1901 census.  Do you have the census reference - Piece/Folio/Page?

I can see a baptism that might be hers... looks like they baptised a lot of their family on the same day

I'm new to all this but I wrote down RG13/0384/~F131, is that the number. Not sure what it means.

Thanks

No strangely she was 5 years older than him according to the 1901 census. The Whorlay children were 17 and 15 and the Hingley's ranged from 13 to 6.
