I am just wondering if Joseph P Davenport in 1851 and Joseph Partridge 1861, down as nephew is maybe adopted by them? The ages are about right?

I think it's the same person.

I feel that, but then this marriage ?

So far I have added this, sometime there has been a name change. I am not sure on the marriage cert if that is meant to say Illegitimate or Illegible? Seems strange for occupation and who knows William King?
