Maddie in your "more experienced than me opinion" do you think they are one and the same, because I do.

I think he was the illegitimate child of Enoch and Elizabeth. From what you put above, they lived in different places.

It would explain a lot.

Those 2 GRO entries you found, he could have been registered twice, under both names, I have seen that before. Maybe I should order both PDF's

I didn't find a baptism for John. Could easily have missed it, will look later, but I think John was Lewis's brother. Elizabeth, to the best of my knowledge mmn was Thomas,

sorry i mean't could lewis's mother be a sister of the john who was lewis's father in the census and john and elizabeth took him in as their son

just a thought

Yes, you could have a point there, I have had the exact same thing happen in another part of my family tree, it was caused by the Mother died, and the sister took the child on as her own, but yes, that is a possibility.

I have never tried to go back as far as John Jones parents/siblings, he may have had brothers/sisters.
