.... little confusion here, if anyone could help clear it up for me id be so grateful... my minds in a muddle over it.
Ok, so im researching The Taylor side of the family tree...
Starting from 'Thomas Taylor'. B 1886. Married Lilian Wilkinson...
Thomas's father was a John Taylor, B abt 1862 in ''Walton, Lancashire, England''.
I believe he married a Rebecca Snailham and had children.
Now heres where im confused.... :
John Taylors father i believe to be Henry Taylor,B.abt 1818 in Longton.
He was living first in Walton le dale according to 1861 census... with 'Ann'.
Henry Taylor
43
birth abt 1818
Head
Spouse's Name is, Ann Taylor
born, Longton, Lancashire, England
Civil parish: Walton Le Dale
St Saviour,Lancashire, England.
Other household members are,
Henry Taylor 43
Ann Taylor 44
Hannah Taylor 20
Thos Taylor 18
Henry Taylor 16
George Taylor 13
Dinah Taylor 10
Mary Taylor 8
Elizabeth Taylor 4
Lawrence Taylor 10 Months
John Taylor 10 Months
John Thos Taylor 12
Then i believe he moved with Ann and children to Wheelton going off the 1881 census. Only theres only one child listed with them....

Other people in the household ,

Ann Taylor 63
John Taylor 20
(( There was also a George Taylor listed aged 23 , But as a farm hand/servant not son,Born longton, 1858))
So firstly where have all the children gone?? I searched a couple of the childrens names, Started with Hannah from the 1861 census, i found two baptism records for her, the DOB is right and there was no other hannah registered in lancashire in the right area with the right named father. There were two entries which was abit strange, and the mothers name is different... have posted below:
Hannah Taylor.
Baptised 14 Jan,1842 St Michael, Hoole,Lancashire,England.

So now im thinking whos Nanny??? So i search her...
I find marriage record for her and a Henry...
Marriage: 4 Mar 1839 St Michael, Hoole, Lancashire, England
Henry Taylor - under age Farmer Bachelor of Longton
Nanny Martindale - of full age Spinster of Much Hoole
Groom's Father: John Taylor, Yeoman
Bride's Father: Thomas Martindale, Farmer

Then i search the census records.

So wheres Hannah??? It would make total sense if Ann was listed as her mother... but Nanny is?? Totally confused! Are Henry and Nanny a totally different family to Henry and Ann?? Or could there be something really odd and strange about the whole thing.... Also you'll notice henrys age fits on all the census records, with both ann and nanny.
If anyone thinks they can help shine a light on this for me id be really grateful. Apologies for the long thread...wanted to put all the info there in the order ive gone through it.
