Cole Mary Ann 41 Hackney 1b 281

Your 1851, Marcus, is unlikely to be the right people, as the wife would have been only 14 when Sarah was born , and the man’s occupation is wrong. You do need to take all info into account

You haven’t said how you connect to William

BTW Relationships on censuses are to the HEAD of the household ONLY

The children in the 1861 posted already ??:

1871 Census see earlier post by ArgyllGran.

The 10 year gap mentioned by ErikaH does seem odd with only the one wife.

There's no mention of a child 'Robert' but I was wondering if this could William with children William and Sarah in 1861

If the age for the wife is accurate, she couldn't have been having children in 1848

COLE, RICHARD ROSS ROSS
GRO Reference: 1876 M Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 593

There is a TEN YEAR gap between William and Eliza - doesn't make sense if there was only one wife

Where is the 'first' family in 1851 and 1861?

As all of the births posted show second forename of Ross, it would seem feasible to suggest that the parents didn't actually marry

COLE, MARGARET ROSS ROSS
GRO Reference: 1878 J Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 576

COLE, ELLEN ROSS ROSS
GRO Reference: 1883 S Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 589

Surely all the children you've named can't have the same Mother - there's a 36 year span !!

Mea Culpa, so you did - sorry! Thankyou for that.

Still cannot find the others or the marriage.....

I've posted Emily's birth above - mms Ross.

This is my problem too.
Sarah, William, Eliza and Emily - I cannot find them with MMN Ross either!

Don't know what's going on here??
