I am going round in circles with this one...
Ellen Hamilton married William Dyer in Lewisham in 1868, - both were 'of full age'.
William Dyer was born in Lingfield, Surrey in July 1847.
On some Censuses Ellen says she was born in Deptford, Kent, on others, - Dartford, Kent.
I ordered the Birth Cert for Ellen Hamilton, born Oct/Nov/Dec Quarter of 1845 in Greenwich to Charles and Charlotte Hamilton, (née Edmeads). I now have doubts whether this is the Ellen Hamilton that I am looking for... Charles Hamilton is a Mariner on this Birth Cert.
On her Marriage Cert Ellen Hamilton gives her father as 'John Hamilton, Sailor'.
On the 1871 Census she is 24yrs
1881 - 34yrs
1891 - 45yrs
1901 - 54yrs
1911 - 64yrs
On her Death Cert, in East Ham, Essex in 1927 she is 80yrs.
I had found possibles on the 1841/'51/and '61 Censuses, - but they are not definates.
There is another Birth for an Ellen Hamilton in the Oct/Nov/Dec Quarter of 1845 in Edmonton, - but I can't find this one on the early Censuses:-(
The ages taken from the 1871 - 1911 Censuses would appear to give a later Birth Date, - from 1846/7, & the age at Death would seem to confirm this.
Is it possible that her Birth wasn't Registered? (I have checked Parish Registers, but can't find a definate match).
