Anyone like a challenge?
Please look at 1891 Census
HEWLETT, Charles
LEWISHAM, London
RG12 piece 523 folio 139 page 3
First assume that the information is correct. Then Isabella is the head and Charles Yearnsley is her father-in-law; but he has a different surname. Maybe she was married before and he is the father of her first husband? then there should be a marriage of an Isabella to a Yearnsley and a death of said Yearnsley.
Second assume that the enumerator has wrongly put father-in-law for Charles as he is really the father-in-law of Isabella's absent husband, ie her father. Then her maiden name would be Yearnsley and there should be a marriage of an Isabella Yearnsley to a Hewlett.
Third assume that the enumerator's mistake is that Charles is really step-father.
Fourth come up with another plausible explanation.
I have been unable to find any of the marriages or deaths mentioned above which would explain it.
