Also if you look at 1841 census people over the age of 15 were round down to the nearest 5. So an 18 year old should be added as 15, 23 as 20...
As far as I can see it is the same person.

I've just had a look at BMD and found the one Delilah Williams in the area of Penkridge, which is on the other side of Wolverhampton from Rowley Regis, the latter which is where most of my Dad's ancestors came from so I'm not sure if that is our Delilah Williams?
Is BMD reliable?
I'm just finding it all soooo frustrating - if there's one Delilah, she seems to have two sets of parents, married more than one Samuel Taylor in the Rowley/Cradley area!
