My Great, Great Grandfather, Thomas Rees and Great,Great Grandmother Ann were born in Wales in 1811 and 1806 respectively. They married and lived in Machen in Monmouthshire. In the 1841 Census they were still living there with 4 children. In the 1851 Census, Ann is still living in Monmouthshire, and is now shown as a Widow living with 4 of her children. In the 1861 Census, she is still living there, but is shown as the wife of Thomas Rees, who it says was born in Birmingham. Living with them was a son. The birth date of Thomas matches the same birth date as Thomas who was born in Wales, this is the same in the 1871 Census. In all the posted Census Thomas is listed as a Haulier.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to how I might solve this riddle? How can Ann be married, then widowed, and then married again to what looks like the same man in 3 successive Census.
