I'm looking at a family, focused round a man called George Hazlewood. I'm putting this here, because Nottingham seems to be where he spent most of his life.
There are some discrepancies in his information that I think are strange and I also can't find him on the 1901 census and I am trying to work out why.
1849
George Hazlewood was born in the first quarter of 1849, in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.
Registration Date 1849
Quarter of the Year Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration Place Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
Volume 16
Page 17
His parents were William Hazelwood and Lucey Adkins. Lucey does appear to have been spelt that way.
1851
On the census. Birth location is given as Fenny Draighton, Leicestershire, which is where his older sister was born. This is Sarah Adkins, who is perhaps her mothers natural child. Sarah was born in 1846, William and Lucey didn't marry until 17th September 1848, in Oxfordshire, so her parentage is less certain. So I'm confused by this.

He gets married to Rhoda Neal, on the 18th February 1866, at Foleshill, Warwickshire. He gives his age as 20, but by my calculation he would have been about 17.

Is now living in Derbyshire with his wife and baby. Gives his birth location as Cropredy, Oxfordshire, which is where he was living in 1851 and 1861.

Now in Nottingham I think, technically. Still with Rhoda and now has 5 children. Just says 'England' for where born. Name is still Hazlewood, but spelt with an 's' instead of a 'z' here.

1891 - Unexplained name change
For reasons I can't explain, the entire family are given the name 'Smith' on this census, but it does appear to be them, as many of the details seem to fit. I've seen an image of the census, so it's not a transcription snafu.
George Smith b 1848 Banbury, Oxfordshire
Rhoda Smith b 1844 Preston, Warwickshire, England
William Smith b 1872 Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, England
Lizzie Smith b 1874 Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, England
Lucy Smith b 1878 Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, England
Jane Smith b 1881 Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, England
Bertha Smith b 1883 Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, England
1901
Haven't been able to find a record that I believe is him.
However, on the 19 March 1892, his daughter Lizzie gets married to a Henry Bestwick, in Aldcar, Derbyshire. She gives her father's name as George Hazlewood on her marriage banns.
1911
In Nottingham with Rhoda and a grandson, George Waller Hazlewood. Says they had 8 children and one died. Place of birth Cropredy, Oxfordshire.

Conclusion
So I'm just really thrown by that 1891 record. What was going on there?
