Julie,
Thanks a lot, that's terrific. I had some of the data but not the 1851 and 1861 censuses. In the civil census 1841, she was cited as a widow aged 38, complete with family as you show. So the mistake in age seems to have begun on the 1851 census.
I've got the Leans reasonably well sorted out now and as you say there are mistakes on some submissions.
If I could be so bold as to ask your assistance with another brick wall: I am looking for the parents of an Edmund Friend. Edmund was born in 1785 and died in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire in 1819. He fathered several children, among them Jonathan Friend. Edmund's wife is cited as Elizabeth or Eliza, but I have reason to think her maiden name might have been Charlote Hopkin. I can find nothing at all on Edmund other than a mention on the Cambridgeshire burial index, and as the father of children on the Cambridgeshire birth index. Anything you can find on Edmund Friend and/or Charlote Hopkin would be that much more than I have now.
Cheers and Regards,
Helen
