1841 Census
Wellington, Shrosphire
HO107/907/4/Wellington
COMFORT Calear, 30, Widow
Mary, 15, Lab
Jesse, 10, Lab
Richard, 5

RICHARD Callear Christened 28 Nov 1835, Madeley Wood to RICHARD/COMFORT
MARY Anne Callier, 22 Oct 1826, Dawley Magna, same Parents
JESSE Callier, 17 Oct 1830, Dalwy Magna, same Parents
(Familysearch.Org)

So this one is 30 odd years Younger on Census than the one who born 1780 and married 1802.

Now we have a Richard with his Grandmother in 1851;

1851 Census
Wellington, Shropshire
HO107/1997/364/6
Comfort MINER, 71, Head, Widow, born Sawley Common
Richard CALLIER, 15, Grandson, Unm, Coalminer, born Sawley Common

Death Reg for a CALLIER, Coufort, 1844 on FreeBMD
F/S has her as Comfort

Bit confusing as to whether there are 2 Comforts or her age is wrong on 1841 Census.
But then Richard is a Grandson on 1851!

1861 has a Comfort Miner born c 1779 Wellington with Son in Law George MORRELL, Wife Ann and Family.
ANN Minor was Christened 24 June 1804 Wellington to GEORGE/COMFORT

So looks to me that the 2 Comforts are not the same person.

One born c 1779 marries George Miner/Minor and never remarries
The other one is born c 1805ish and married Richard Callear and died 1844
Son Jesse is under Jessey in 1851 Census.

I still am not sure how Richard, Son of Comfort/Richard is Comfort Miners Grandson though.

[#220] Comfort b~1780  ;D
I now have copies of the 1851 and 1861 census records (that feature this Comfort).
I have a death record dated Q1-1863 (post the last known census entry).

I too can not find her in the 1841 census.  ???

The other Comfort ??? ??? ??? ???
How odd! If these are the same then why would she later appear as Miner (why revert to your 1st  husband's name if the children are Callier?)
