Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 2 Send Message	Hi i wondered if someone could help or advice me with the 1851 census . I have found the family i am looking for but what i carnt understand is why father-in-law is stated when he is the same age as the head of houshold Joseph Jones and 9 years older than his wife Martha .Their is a son- in- law Thomas 29 and a daughter -in-law Maria age 11. I have come across this before when the children have been from previouse marriages and have been put down as in laws.This son-in-law is older than Josephs listed own children and the daughter- in- law is younger than the listed children The children are all unmarried .Where does William the father- in- law fit into this as well ? the ref no is HO107 1988/249 .thankyou for any help or advice that is given

	In laws in those days meant differently to todays meaning Step children were often referred to as in law rather than stepkids especially when they were adults still living at home.

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 2 Send Message	Thankyou for your replies. I do have more info. My direct line is elizabeth Jones .The entry above Joseph and martha jones . Elizabeth was married to a John Jones ,now a widow. Joseph is Elizabeths brother-in-law . I have them on 1841 census still living next door to one another .Their is a william jones on there age 40 ,but why is he down as father-in-law on 1851. I do realize with having such a common name as jones that its going to be a challenge .
