*Arc tbc* ---Eli Taylor marriage puzzle

[mumbles]

This connects to Richard Baker on Nl thread as Eli Taylor married daughter in law of Richard Baker i.e. Mary Jane Dingley (Widow)

However he appears to have married before as on 1911 Census he is shown as having 2 children and 2 living and Mary J. has 3 children and 2 living

This is him on 1891 Census :-
1891 Census 32 Village Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Eli Taylor Head 30 Coal Miner
Fanney Taylor wife 23 Nail Maker
Polly Taylor dau 8 Scholar
Annie Taylor dau 6 Scholar
All born Rowley Regis Staffs.

Found two possible marriages 1) to Rebecca Cole at St. Pauls Blackheath 1883 ( Ties up with children)
2) Fanny Bennett St. Pauls Blackheath 1889 ( Ties up with name but not children

Cannot find children after 1891

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915 about Fanny Taylor

Estimated birth year: abt 1868
Year of Registration: 1893
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 25
District: Dudley (To 1912)
County: Staffordshire, Worcestershire

[dianel]

If Fanny and Polly's ages are correct on the 1891 census, doesn't that make Fanny a little young to be Polly's mum?

Is it possible that Eli was married 3 times and Rebecca is the mother of Polly and Annie, and Eli & Fanny had no children?

Poss. for Fanny pre marriage?

1881
At 34 Rowley Village
Joseph Bennett Head 57 Boiler Smith

Elizabeth Bennett Daur 21 Nail Maker
Fanny Bennett Daur 14 Scholar

This looks like another 'blended' family.
