If the above census records are correct, then best buy a copy of one of the children's birth certificate to confirm mothers maiden name.

I have a dilemma with the above lady. I think she married my james Varley in colne in 1849. Then james died in 1865. I later found a betty Varley marrying Alfred Holgate in 1872. I am thinking it's the same betty. Please could someone check the 1871 census and the 1881 for Nelson area for betty. She was born approximately 1848.
Thanks. :-D
