Possible Potty, but have names & births of her children from the IGI.
The little one is shown as daughter on the 1851 .

wisechild, relatiionships and marital status aren't shown on the 1841, so one of the 20s year olds could be a daughter-in-law.

Thanks for your input wisechild and Lynn.
Found four and a half year gap between marriage and first child being christened so possibly the children weren't small babies when christened so making the mother younger when giving birth???

Mine was 44 and had twins. Also the age difference between my gran and her eldest sister was 18 years. So could be. :-D

Don´t know about the 1700s but have just found one on the 1841 census who was born in 1786 & reckons to have a 2 years old.
I´m a bit suspicious as she has 2 daughters in their 20s. Think it far more likely the little one belongs to one of them.53 seems a bit old to be having a child.

What age did mothers stop having children in the 1700s?

Is 47 too old?
