No death for Martha or George up to 1881

1871 shows Martha b 1858 Pembrokeshire

[CaroleW]

Have a look at the 1881 entry for John Carey 27 b Cardiff - wife Martha is 22 b Pembroke

[Morganllan]

Possible for George in 1871:

Oakley St, Grangetown, Cardiff

George Kerry Head age 60  Collier
Margaret Kerry Wife age 70
Matilda Tanner Lodger age   23  Dressmaker  born Cardiff
George Kerry  Son age 17  Labourer  born Cardiff
Lucy Kerry Daughter age 14  Servant  born Cardiff
Margaret A James Granddaughter age 1 Month  born Grangetown

RG10 Piece 5364 Folio 72 Page 26

The marriage certificate will give George's Father's name and occupation to confirm.

1861 Cardiff
RG9 Piece 4032 Folio 4 Page 1

[Morganllan]

There is a birth of George Kerry in 1853 (Sep Q)
Cardiff volume 11a page 194

[CaroleW]

If Margaret Kerry was 70 in 1871 - she can't be the mother of either George or Lucy 

[CaroleW]

1861 shows surname as Kerry and George was 38 and Margaret 39 which makes more sense

Boy did they age a lot between censuses in those days!!  1871 image does show them as 60 and 70 respectively

[Morganllan]

Yes, and George was 30 and Margaret was 39 in 1851!

5 Caroline Street, Cardiff (St Mary)

Definitely sensitive about their ages 


but 1871 must be wrong, as in 1881 they are 62 and 63 years old, living at 25 Kent St
