Samuel Reed & Edith Taylor had 6 children on 1851 census, Mary age 15, Anne 13, Samuel 10, Thomas 8, Eliza Ann 4 & Edith 6 months (the first 3 repeat on 1841 census). They are all have surname Reed, however apart from Edith they all have an additional first name of Taylor, this is as per their baptisms & later marriages from parish registers. Father Samuel died in 1855 & on 1861 census widow Edith is with 8 year old daughter Emma who I've not seen with first name Taylor apart from those records from the Beds Archives catalogue.

Absolutely fantastic information JohnP, though i'm a little puzzled.
You've kindly given the names, ages etc but i'm at a loss about their surnames and having an additional first name of Taylor etc.
So how would their names be written?
It's just i have things clear and then to be able to enter all the information in my Family Tree Maker program.
As for Edith's 8 year old daughter (1861 Census), Emma, (born 1853?) the father is assumed to be Samuel Reed, who passed away in 1855.
You've mentioned that "as per their baptisms & later marriages from parish registers".
Please advise how i would be able to see this information?
With thanks
