Pamela, The 1829 marriage at Lambeth looks right. So I think the wife is Mahala Spears. This fits 1841 & 1851 census. I don't know about Charles (Jnr). His age in 1841 census is given as 11 making birth in 1830. This fits with the 1829 marriage, but conflicts with age of 22 at 1857 marriage to Ann Bennett. This would suggest birth around 1834. Then there are 1825 and 1834 christening records both at Eaton Socon with mother Dinah. But there is a corresponding Eaton Socon marriage in 1820 between Charles Mudlow and Diana Chapman. So are Charles Mudlow and Charles Medlow the same person? You will have to go back to the census records and look for Mudlow. There are all sorts of possibilities. If they are the same person, Charles could have first married Diana Chapman in 1820. They may have had a son Charles c1825. But then both mother and son died and the father remarried in 1829 and a second son born soon after was also named Charles. Alternatively, just Diana may have died and there is a mix up with Charles (jnr)'s age. Peter Alter
There are Eaton Socon burials as follows: Charles Medlow age 13 months on 4 Sept 1826 Charles Medlow age 67 on 24 Aug 1853 Dinah Medlow age 85 on 12 Nov 1883 Charles and Dinah Medley were living in Eaton Socon in 1851, with son Charles 17, so I think these are two distinct Charles Medlows David --- En date de : Sam 5.7.08, Peter Booth <[email protected]> a écrit : > De: Peter Booth <[email protected]> > Objet: Re: [BDF] MEDLOW from Wilden > À: [email protected] > Date: Samedi 5 Juillet 2008, 11h29 > Pamela, > > The 1829 marriage at Lambeth looks right.
