Hi,
I am helping a friend look for information on her great great grandmother, Margaret Seddon.
We know that Margaret Seddon was born in Liverpool circa 1816 and that she married Thomas Kemp- son of William Kemp and Anne Marie O'Hare - at St Nicholas's Church Liverpool in 1833. They went on to have 10 children.
My friend would love to find out a little more about Margaret and her own family as the information on the Seddon side of the tree is blank..IE; No parents or siblings.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Frank

Did she really marry at the age of only 16?
The marriage was Jan 30, 1833

I think the confusion comes from her age in 1841 when adult ages were rounded down to nearest 5.
There is this one which ties in with her age on the 1851 census...

Hi Everyone, Mike's looks like a strong possibility
With regards to earlier searches surrounding the Seddon family , I don't believe that Margaret is from the same family, I just think that she simply shares, by coincidence, the same surname.
Once again, many thanks for all your help.
