My 3xgreat gran Clara Auber was born in 1835 and her documented mother was 51 at the time, she was born 1784. The previous child was born in 1827, and Clara had a few older sisters of childbearing age, and Clara's middle name was that of an older sister Emma Auber born 1813. Emma herself went on to have more illegitimate children 1840-1855 and fudged details on their birth certificates. Also Clara and Emma and her child born 1840 are untraceable in the 1841 census, and definitely not at the rest of the main family residence in Shoreditch, but it seems Clara later went to live with another sister.
Not impossible to have a baby at 51 but I am smelling something fishy, that Clara was actually the granddaughter of the documented parents.
