Possible parents' marriage?

Name: John George Peters
Spouse Name: Sarah Collins
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 25 Dec 1811
Parish: Christ Church, Spitalfields
County: Middlesex
Borough: Tower Hamlets

Now if these are the parents which we think they are whats happened to their ages!!!

The couple that married in 1811 would have to have been born c 1791 so would have been in their 60's in 1851 so I don't think you have the right marriage I'm afraid

What do you mean by "What's happened to their ages?"

Well like has been pointed out the two are seprate families BUt we cant find any other marriage for this couple ...
I,m sorry but this is all new to be as before 1837ish you cant get certificates so how do you know you have the right couple ?

you need a birth cert of one of the children which would give mother's maiden name

Yes !! the other lady researching the tree has the birth certificate of the child born after the ones listed she gave me the Sarah collins BUT I,m beginning to think!!!!!!!
The child she has COULD be the parent and as the names are the same Sarah colins is the grand parent to John peters age 10 and NOT the mother!! on this census

But looking at what you all have written you made me think this so again I owe you all a big THANKS
I will send for the only certificate and go from there

On that 1851 census it says that David Peters is 12 and not 10 as transcribed.

Oh Thank you so much Mel
I cant believe you people are so wonderful each time you have come up with the goods

Thanks again to all who have helpped

And this is the third family of Peters to0 show what could be twins!!

They were not twins on the 1851. One was 12 and one was 10!!!!!!

But I will look up Joseph and sarah as the 1841 rounded ages up so they may not be twins.

Thanks Mel...
