This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Edwards, Hall, Askew Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VBC.2ACI/1298.1.1 Message Board Post: Deborah, Good to hear from you again. The reason I found it curious is that in the 1860 census, she is listed as Mary E C Edwards, 4, and in 1870 as Mary E. 13. The marriage listing for Valentine is: Hanover County Marriage Register, Nov. 24,1880 Valentine D. Hall, 23, widowed, m. Mary E. Edwards, 23, single, d/o William Edwards, Rev. Heugh Davis Roy. For Silas Askew, it is: Hanover County Marriage Register, Dec 22, 1881 (License Nov 16, 1881) Silas Askew, farmer, widowed, 40, son of Robert & Nancy Askew, married Elizabeth E. Edwards, single, 24, daughter of Wiliam & Lucinda Edwards, Rev. B. M. Buckner. Both marriage listings are the perfect age and the correct father's name. The minister is different. I also have six, not five children listed for Silas Askew and Mary. If you send your number to my email, I can call you and figure out the discrepancy.
