Hi I've been trying to prove that Mark 1873, Henry 1875, and Jane 1870 are cousins They are all born in Harlington area of bedfordshire. all dates are +/-5

Mark and Henry have parents Charles 1839 and Jane 1839
Charles has parents Mark 1801 and Sarah 1801

Jane has parents James 1837 and Martha 1841
James is not on 1841 census with Charles, but in 1881 he has a brother Thomas living with him. Thomas parents are Mark and Sarah

So I think Mark and Jane have common grand parents.

The only thing which does not tally is why Jane is down as married to Henry on 1901 census, when she married Mark in 1897, with Mark down as a brother to Henry. I think she should have been down as wife to Mark with Henry as the brother of Mark. This would then make the next census correct, in that Henry was head, single, with Jane as married (to mark) and cousin to Henry

I can send census details if you can't find them yourself with these refs
1891 - Mark RG12-1263-68-6
1881 - Mark Rg11-1639-71-5
1881 - Jane RG11-3398-22-37
1871 Jane RG10-1559-10-12
1861 - Thomas/Charles RG9-1004-73-1
1851 - HO107-1755-274-22
1841 - HO107-5-14/13-21

Hi
Mark and Jane married 1887, Henry was born 1889. As I said on my last post I can't find any proof that Jane married Henry and I suspect it is an error on the 1901 census i.e. Mark is the husband and Henry is the brother, not vise versa.

Hi Peter.

That's why Jane is down as a cousin to Henry in 1911.

Jane is wife of Mark. Mark is cousin to Henry. Jane is 'cousin-in-law', if that makes sense.

Can you give us something that's a bit more straightforward next time please.:2fun::2fun:

Hi Steve, thats the theory, but if you haven't seen 1911, 1901 gives Henry as married head of family Jane as wife and with Mark as a single brother, in that order, so its a bit misleading, apart from the marriage of Mark and Jane in 1897 and lack of marriage between Henry and Jane. Clear as mud, but why did they call their first child Henry, and not Mark!!

Jane Denton and Joseph Bonnington were my great grandparents. When Joseph died she had 3 children Joseph, Frank and Mary, she also had another child William before she married again to her cousin Mark. Mark and Jane had 7 more children. Well I should say Mark, Harry and Jane had 7 more children! Mark and Jane Jane lived with Henry but if you look on the 1911 census Mark isn't there as he disappeared for a while and Jane had more children with Henry/Harry. Mark came back and they all still lived together but Jane and Henry as man and wife and Mark as the lodger! The children were never sure who was whose dad.
