Some years ago I stumbled upon some very interesting and exciting details in census' re. my Bennett/Hanson relations and thought this was all fine. There was my Robert William Hanson marrying a Marion c.1873 and having three bountiful children up to 1878. All fits. Almost perfect. Except it wasn't. The Robert William Hanson who married this Marion was not the same Robert William Hanson, father Robert dairyman, as I presumed him to be. The surname was limited in MDX, all seemed to fit and I should have learnt my earlier lesson from other counties that there may well have been two of them born in close years and in the same county. So, blissfully I followed 'my' Robert William in his travels in the census as a cement agent and considered I was home and hosed with this family. Disaster loomed in the fact of one marriage certificate of 1919 which showed Robert William Hanson, father Robert dairyman, to be a bachelor. Yes, big drama. A bachelor at the age of 47 of Fulham, fits..... unless there is some skullduggery at work and he was really a widow? Must check to see if a Marion Hanson had died sometime between 1911 and 1919. This could have all the mystery of Midsommer! Anyway, Robert's new wife (or first wife) in 1919 was shown to be Millicent Harriet Denby 39 widow, father John Eves. Hmmn, still of child bearing age no doubt at 39! Could be some little toddlers from that liaison! Anyway, just thought you'd like to see that what you may find on census data is not always the truth of the matte even if you are fairly certain. Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz
