Possible for Mary Jane??
Births Jun 1861
SIDAWAY Mary Jane Dudley 6c 123

Possible death for Solomon, Jan-March 1859, Dudley, 6c 88

So if thats right Mary Jane isnt Solomans?

Nancy, is that pet name for Ann?

To me it seems certain that Nancy remarries as she has some children with her.

On BCC we have Mary Jane and Joseph as Solomans son. But the possible death for Solomon is too early for Mary Jane to be his.
Joseph seems right for her new marriage, so will be William Bennetts son.
Mary Jane I dont think Solomon is her father. Cant say who is?

Seems right Pricilla marries John Williams as they were ling with them and later Nancy with her. Is that enough to on before confirmation of Marriage?
Jo

Agreed so yes go in and change for unknown unknown
giving you permission to do that

need to add notes in kids and a note re qtr death pls for Solomon

Been looking for Joseph, to see how he may be registerd, possible births, from freebmd

Births Mar 1864
SIDAWAY Joseph Dudley 6c 22

AND

Births Dec 1862
BENNETT Joseph Dudley 6c 87

Rechecked the 1871 census and thats transcribed on Ancestry as William and Nancy Bennes.
