Not a lot more detail on the 1881 Census: At 33 English Buildings, Dalziel, Lanarkshire Jacob Knight Head Mar 36 Iron Worker b. England Emma Knight Wife Mar 29 Housewife b. England Simon Knight Son 10 Scholar b. England Jacob Knight Son 7 Scholar b. Lanarkshire, Scotland George Knight Son 6 Scholar b. England Jane Knight Daur 3 Scholar b. Lanarkshire, Motherwell Emma Knight Daur 1 b. Lanarkshire, Motherwell Catherine Knight Daur 6 mths b. Lanarkshire, Shieldmuir Daniel Watchhorn Lodger 38 Iron Worker b. England
The fact that the address for the marriage is the same as the residential addresses for both Jacob and Emma makes me think that I may have been right about the eloping guess.
Yes Di, it certainly looks like they eloped! This genealogy lark really gets yer brain thinking doesn't it? It took me forever to add all the info to Connections cos I kept wondering why they would have left all their families behind
Thanks for everyone's input
