I think they are related somehow. I am slowly untangling this wonderful complexity !!

The marriage entry (On Ancestry) states James was 27, Jane as 29. Definitely 27 & 29 NOT 37 or 39. .

Now, either she IS 29 years of age at her wedding, OR she is lying and is actually 39, which ties in with above post by ErikaH !!

Just because it came up whilst looking around - were the Grigsons and Willingtons already related?

From findmypast

Piece number 693 is missing from the 1881 census: house numbers 17-22 Cunard Street, Camberwell, London.

Part of house number 16 could be missing too if the house contained more children, a boarder or a visitor.

Am looking for James Grigson / Gregson born c1825 in Camden Town / St. Pancras area of London.

Just cannot find him in 1881.
He married Jane Willington in 1852 at St. Leonard, Shoreditch.

I have them on 1861 & 71, but in 1891 & 1901 James is a widower.

Can anybody please help me here??
