I am sure there has been a mistake... it has happened a lot as we know
We could add and add a not may be? Just to say how it has seemed to be?

Like you say Jo, on the 1851 census, the illegitimate children could be Major’s children

1861 Census: Red Hall, Lower Gornal, Sedgley.
Major Hale, Head.UM, 27, Excavating? Labourer
Mary Wakelam, live together.UM, 32, Nailer
Esther Wakelam, Dau.Illigit, 5
John Wakelam, Son.Illigit, 3
Elizabeth Wakelam, Dau. Iligit, 1?
(All born Sedgley)

But, if Mary married that Benjamin Bate in 1846, those illegitimate children would surely have had the Bate surname instead of Wakelam, as would Mary.

I think it would be best to archive this now, what are your thoughts?

I have added fathers name and changed Marys to Bate and not Wakelam.
