Julia Twigg Sister-In-Law - Female 23 1848 - Ireland

Strange that we don't see Thomas and Julie together in census and in the 1871 census it says Julie sisters law and not daughter in law to James what do you think xx

So this James is James son that's why it said sister in law I'm a bit slow but getting there x

Maybe the marriage didn't get off to a good start. Thomas and Julia Twigg were married on 10 Sept 1870, they are living in different Twigg households at the 1871 census. Their first child, Mary (or Maria) Agnes Twigg is born on 21 May 1871 (that's 36 weeks later, I think). I can't find any civil record of her, just her baptism in St Alban's Catholic church on 29 Jun 1871. The godmother is Ellen Fox, Julia's elder sister, with whom Julia and her son John Twigg are living in the 1881 census. I can't trace Mary Agnes Twigg after her baptism.
