Thankyou Emma, yes that's them. George has obviously passed on, and I think Clara married Henry Guppy. Thanks also to Rosemary for looking. Marion

George was from Ashwick and a coalminer, Elizabeth from Radstock. Their children were Albert b.1871, Lilly b.1875 Henry b.1876 The eldest girl was Clara A. (possibly Perkins as born before the marriage) There was a grandson called Jesse Perkins who would be about 10. No problem if you can't find them. Marion

Hi Lucy, If the 1881 census is anyting to go by George would be 60 and Elizabeth 65, but age given on the marriage certificate would make her 58. I think she may have tried to make herself younger being a widow on her second marriage. Marion

If anyone has the time and access to 1891 I am looking for George and Elizabeth CHAPMAN from Ashwick Som. to see where they are living and who has been added to their family since 1881 (or lost! ) Many thanks in advance for time taken. Marion
