I can't see 2x Charles so looks like an error.

However a millwright is not a labourer.

I can see only one birth reg 1838-1842 for Charles. I can see no birth reg for a Jane BURNS.

Looks as though I'm working on two different trees. Don't know what bits fit my tree.

Deaths Mar Qtr 1877
CONWAY Charles 39 Bolton 8c 269

So the Charles in 1881 is not mine and that means we have 2x roughly the same age, but only one birth reg.

1851 census for Charles and Jane Conway, they have with them Alice Ann 8mth and Priscilla Burrows, mother in law, 54 born Ribchester (Pc 2833, F76, P44 )

Charles Conway age 39 died Bolton 1877 Q1.

Jane Conway m 2 Sep 1880 St Peter, Bolton, Lancashire, England

William Kirkham - 26, Mechanic, Bachelor, 63 Bridgeman Place
Jane Conway - 35, Widow, 7 Claughton Street
Groom's Father: John Kirkham, (deceased), Mechanic
Bride's Father: William Conway, (deceased), Joiner
Witness: Charles James Lyon; Ruth Lyon

Surname of bride's father is wrong, she probably just said her father was William a joiner and the vicar forgot that she was widow and her father would have a different surname

At the 1881 census William Kirkham is 26 and Jane says she is 37, should be 40. Quite a toy boy !

1891, William 36, Jane 44
1901, William 46, Jane 52

Jane Kirkham d Bolton 1908 Q4 aged 62.

Ancestry has probate for will of Charles Conway, effects under £450.

5 March 1877, Will with codicil of Charles Conway late of Bolton Brewer and Beerseller who died 11 Jan 1877 at Bolton, proved by Jane Conway of 8 Taylor St off Newport St Bolton Widow, the relict, and Samuel Greenough of 45 Newport St watch and clock manufacturer, the executor.

Perhaps was too ill to work as a millwright and Jane mostly did the brewing ?

Hello stockpot,

Thank you very much.

So we have a remarriage for Jane. No wonder I was having problems with 1881.
