Can someone help me sort out this family puzzle
John Mills was born in 1824 in Dilwyn, Herefordshire.
He married at Kingston Parish Church on 10 August 1845 to Ann Cartwright.
1851 census John (27), Ann his wife (27) living at Etnan Street, Leominster, Herefordshire with their children Hannah (5), John (3) and Thomas (1)
1861 census John (36) a miller, widower living at South Street, Leominster, Herefordshire with his children John (13), Thomas (11), Ann (9), Emma (1). He also has a couple of boarders living with him Ann Phillips (25) unmarried, a staymaker and her children Eliza Phillips (3) and Sarah Ann Phillips (1)
Emma Mills was born 1854 at Etnan St, Leominster to John & Ann Mills nee Cartwright
Anne Mills nee Cartwright died 1855 Etnan St, Leominster aged 30 years wife of John Mills, Miller
The above all fits nicely but things go awry by 1871
1871 census John Mills (54) a miller is living in Irvington, Herefordshire with wife Ann (37) and chldren, Thomas (21), Eliza (13), Sarah Ann (11), William (6), James (4), Richard (2)
1881 census John Mills (56) a miller with wife Ann (46) living in Irvington with children James (14), Richard (11), Amos (8), and Cephas (5) his grandson child of Eliza
I have Amos birth certificate and it states his mother's maiden name is Phillips
I sent off for a marriage between John Mills and Ann Phillips in 1858 both bride and groom were aged 20 and the groom was a porter
A John Mills died in 1888
Can anyone help me sort out which is my John Mills and family please?
