I'm completely stumped here!!! :D
In 1871 Sarah Ann Hone (born 1844 Westminster) is with her parents James and Ann in Mitcham, unmarried, with a son, Walter James Hone, born Croydon, 1870. 10/854/21/4
In 1881, Sarah is still Sarah A. Hone, but is married to Edward Hone, born 1848 Uxbridge, Middx. and living in Mitcham. 11/826/144/27
This seemed a bit strange - Hone isn't a common name, plus they came from Berkshire straight to Surrey, so there was no reason to think Edward was even a relative.
In 1891, the Hones are still playing happy families in Mitcham 12/601/141/31
By 1901, Edward has died and Sarah (having mysteriously morphed in Elizabeth Ann Hone, but we won't worry about that!) is lodging with her children, still in Mitcham. 13/655/160/35
But, there is no suitable birth registered for an Edward Hone
There is no marriage (maybe a bit superfluous if you already have the same name!)
I can't find Edward on 1851, 61 or 71 censuses
There is no death registered for an Edward Hone between 1891 and 1901.
I got one of the kid's birth certs, thinking Edward Hone couldn't have been his "official" name, but Edward Hone it is on the cert.
Does anyone have any ideas???
