Ladies name deciphered please

I think it must be Clewley really-  maybe an error on the Bond.

In the  1841 Census they are in Stafford. With them are two Clewley chldren
Mathilda, aged 12 and George aged 9

Mathilda Clewley, daughter of Joseph and Sarah was baptised in Cannotck on 17 May 1829
 
George Joseph Clewley, parents Joseph and Sarah, was bapt 14 Sept 1831 in Cannock

I'm a bit confused. (Easily done...  )

That would mean - assuming it is the same Joseph (Bogden?) - that Sarah had 2 illegitimate kiddies with him and then later married him. Would that not have been unusual back then?

Or did she marry twice, both times to a Joseph?

I think it says on the marriage allegation Sarah is a widow

It's so good to wake up in these trying times and find that the world of Rootschat is alive and well - and helping to solve my problems
Thank you to all who contributed to this thread and produced a satisfactory conclusion.

That is one reason I wondered whether she perhaps married 2 men named Joseph.

From what you and Gadget have unearthed, it certainly looks that way.
I suppose it could make life easier. ;-)

Sorry - couldn't help but think of the song 'Enery the 8th I am, I am... 

P.S. Joseph II was only 21 when they married. Quite an age gap...

Karen

Sarah married Joseph Clewley in 1816.
They had a number of children, including Mathilda (circa 1829) and George (circa 1831)
Joseph Clewley died in 1832
Sarah married Joseph Boyden in 1833 (only bond found not ceremony)
Insert - they had a John circa 1834-5 and others
From her age on census etc. she was born 1801-1806.

I'm not sure why you're thinking that the Clewley children were illegitimate.

Hi Gadget,

I'm not thinking that they were illegitimate. 

I wondered that yesterday, before it was determined that she had (possibly) married 2 men who were both named Joseph.

My comment today was simply that she had married 2 men named Joseph. And that Joseph II was, some might say, a toyboy.  Nothing about kiddies born out of wedlock.

I was reading this one, Karen, and you were still doubtful in your later post, but I'm glad you've worked it out
