The history of Edwin Dutson's family

Edwin and Hannah married in 1842. At the time of his wedding, Edwin was a 35 year old wheelwright and his bride was a 22 year old servant. Edwins' father Philip was a blacksmith, while Hannah's father George was a farmer.

According to the 1881 census, Edwin had his wife and three daughters living with him:

Edwin DUTSON	66 	Head		Gardener
Hannah DUTSON	67 	Wife		Gardener Wife
Annie DUTSON	19 	Daughter	Domestic Housewife
Emma DUTSON	12 	Daughter	Scholar
Jane DUTSON	10 	Daughter	Scholar

It is quite common in census returns to have incorrect details concerning age.

When Edwin married Hannah in 1848 he gave his occupation as a wheelwright. Ten years later on his daughter Mary Emma's birth certificate he said he was a farmer. By 1881 he had become a gardiner but then when his daughter Mary Emma married in 1885 he said he was a wheelwright again.
