I know that Elizabeth Coldron was born Elizabeth Chambers and is the daughter of George and Sophia from the 1871, based on the two census returns showing Edward born in Worksop it should be easy to work out his parents but I'm really struggling.
I thought this was his birth ref;
CHAMBERS, EDWARD mmn WHITLAM
GRO Reference: 1864 D Quarter in WORKSOP Volume 07B Page 24
Dive into the marriage index and there's a marriage that looks good, it's a couple of years earlier and just a few miles away in Retford ;
Marriages Jun 1858 (>99%)
Chambers Bilby E Retford 7b 9
JOW George E.Retford 7b 9
Pettinger Hannah E. Retford 7b 9
Pettinger Hannah Clarke E. Retford 7b 9
Whitlam Ann E.Retford 7b 9
It all falls down when following the census as Bilby Chambers married Hannah!

George and Sophia had several children including 3 sons I've never quite been able to work out; I can never find them in the census as George and Sophia were in trouble with the law and the last son was born in the house of correction.

Am I missing something really obvious with Edward born in Worksop? Have I mistakenly thought the Edward in 1871 and 1881 are the same person? Was he just not registered or does he belong to one of the mystery sons?
