I think that this Phillis in 1851 is the one lodging with William Tromans b abt 1840 and wife Nancy
in 1861
but
big age gap for Edward Tromans and Phills

1861 - Rowley Village
Samuel Tromans, Head, 68, Nailer
Martha Tromans, Wife, 58
Edward Tromans, Son, 30
Louise Tromans, Daur, 16
Lea Tromans, Daur 15
Eliza Tromans, Gr Daur, 17

the age on the 1871 though fits the one with Reuben

do we have Edward and phillis on later census pls

Wms wife must die and he is with a Phebe on 1861
and kids are young so poss 2nd marr

I am still not sure

what you think Jimmy
which Phillis marries Edward tromans
is it the one bapt 1844 parents Wm and Eliz
and living on 1861 with Tromans

but then that Siviter connection above

who is she Comfort niece to Phillis? or edward

philllis was 16 years old when she married edward who was 30years old a big age gap

Looking at the census's Reuben Sidaway is the only one to have a dau Elizabeth.

Edward Tromans hasn't a son or dau William or Elizabeth, if thats anything to go by.
