Thanks ArgyllGran

I couldn't find anything either. Maybe she was doing a friend a favour.

All the best

No immediately obvious relationship to the Chorley family.

Jane is his eldest daughter b 1849.

I think it is a transcription error.

William died 2/10/1878 in Bedminster and his wife Mary Ann/ Ann was with him. I have his death cert.
Mary Ann or Ann died in Birmingham in 1894. I haven't got her death cert so I could be wrong. Frederick their eldest son moved to Birmingham.

Thanks for all your help

If those are the correct census posted, then
1871 - Jane is aged 46 - the same as William so can't be his daughter.
1861 - Ann aged 37, same as William

Edward may only have been there for the night

Thanks for that greyghost.

I didn't think to look on the gro site.

That marriage information may prove very usefull. Although I do not recognise either name.

All the best

Thanks greyghost

Jane was his daughter not his wife. Shame about Edward I couldn't find any links to the family. He is just so young to be living with them if he is not related. and I can't find him on any other census to give me any clues.

Kind regards

Jane

On the 1861 census there is an Edward Mills aged 7 living with them. On the original census does it show how he is related to this family?

Thanks again for all your help
