Lindsey - she's widowed in the 1891 and 1901 censuses. The last one with Thomas on is 1881 |

I thought it probably was 51 years - perhaps she didn't realise that because he was deceased she didn't have to fill that in? |

Ah no Dea , in 1881 census he's at Colchester. Darn. |

but Yvonne...he probably headed for Ipswich in 1878 because that is where Marian was born. And then by 1811 had moved to Colchester which is only 18 miles away. The only thing I would say is that in 1881 he was still with the military in a barracks which suggests his discharge was not completed in 1878? |

Alison - from the censuses is a bit dodgy....1891 born 1882, 1901 born 1884, 1911 born 1885 and as Lindsey points out they don't all appear to have been registered. I'd go for Isabella - it's definitely the right family (from the census) |

Yes I can see why. As Jax said "they certainly moved around"...born respectively in India and Canada; children born in South Africa, Mauritius, Portland, Glasgow, Pembroke, Ipswich, Colchester, Ireland and then they seemed to settle in Norfolk... :-) |
