    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.

    Might be worth checking the 1881 census for an Isabella Turner, born 1859 Kingston, Surrey (same as Isabella Hewlett)
    Father shown as Charles Yeamsley



    Class: RG11; Piece: 737; Folio: 82; Page: 18;

      Possible marriage for the "parents" of Elizabeth Turner

      England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index, 1837-1915
      Charles Yearnsley - Eliza Turner
      Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1863
      Registration District: Bromley
      Volume Number: 2a
      Page Number: 293

      - so Charles was Elizabeth's step father,

          Well done Elaine. I had some of the pieces of the jigsaw, but not the 1881, and I reckon you have put them together.
          Eliza Unknown b1836 = (1) Unknown Turner (2) Charles Yeamsley or Yearnsley or more likely Isabella was illegitimate to Eliza Turner
          |
          Isabella Turner = Charles Edwin Hewlett

          I have found Charles, Eliza and Isabella living together in 1871 but not 1861.

          And, where is Charles Hewlett in 1891 (assuming that the recording of Isabella as married, not widowed, is correct)
          People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace
          Places: Pembrokeshire, Kent.

            .. doesn't look like it!

            A possible baptism of Isabella Eliza - showing parents as Thomas & Eliza

            London, England, Births and Baptisms
            Isabella Eliza Turner
            Baptism - 1 Nov 1857
            Father - Thomas Turner
            Mother - Eliza Turner
            Parish - Norbiton
            Borough - Kingston upon Thames
