I have Bernard (48) and Ellen (50) with a son, Edward (13) living In Liverpool on the 1861 census (attached on two pages). In 1871, I have Bernard (54), Margaret (35) and Edward (21) RILEY living in Liverpool (also attached. FreeBMD lists only one Edward RILEY born in Liverpool between Mar qtr 1847 and Dec qtr 1851 and that is Sep qtr 1848 Liverpool 20 488. I think both the above census listings are him. This, unfortunately, leaves the death and burial of Bernard RILEY in 1869 as somewhat of a paradox, as he is apparently alive in 1871.
