Looking on BCC at the children of Eli Hadley & Maria Hall I think I might have found census info regarding their son John:
Census 1871

Eliza Hall Serv 12 1859 Serv ?

Note: I think this is the one that ties John into Eli & Maria's family. I think, although the handwriting is pretty awful, that the Eli & Gllen Hader are in fact John's brother Eli & his wife Ellen. If we add to that their elder brother Adin having spent time in Ulverston, witness the birthplace given of his daughters on census records, there seems to be a strong link between this part of Lancashire and Eli & Maria's children.

Note: The children are all crossed off so presumably weren't resident on the day. Was the form incorrectly filled in?
What I can't find are John's birth details, or his marriage to Ann although there are possibilities:
Marriages Dec 1868 (>99%)
Hadley John Ulverstone 8e 1010
WESTARD Ann Ulverston 8e 1010
I can't find any other info about Ann Westard
possible
Marriages Dec 1870 (>99%)
Hadley John W. Bromwich 6b 1046
I can't find the matching partner to this record.
possible
Marriages Sep 1871 (>99%)
Hadley John Dudley 6c 92
TAYLOR Ann Dudley 6c 92
[/i]
If this is correct then the 1871 census showing them as married is wrong and they must have returned from Lancashire to get married.
Can anyone show firstly, that I'm wrong in thinking that these census records refer to Eli & Maria's son John, and secondly find the birth & marriage records that tie all this in together.
Thanks.
