Find Ancestors

I appreciate that some official records can be mistranscribed. I have an Elizabeth Rower b1865, with here family, father William Redding Rower b 1835, Lincs in the 1881 census. I have found marriages for the two boys John and Henry. I cannot find anything for the other children listed, with the exception of Elizabeth 1865. But the marriage record I have found for Elizabeth Rower to Frederick W Marsh Sept 1896, gives her dob as 1868.
Does anyone think this is the correct person, and how can I find out about the other children listed.
Many,many thanks in anticipation

I have advised Ancestry of the need for a correction to the 1881 transcription

That 1911 for Marsh is a mess

Wife is Margaret
Son is Frederick Wilson Marsh
Maria - is shown as wife sister

Going to do a correction on FMP for that Marsh family.


If Elizabeth married Marsh then she must have died and he has remarried

Phew, I am getting proper confused. Although some of the younger children on the 1881 seem to disappear (havn't properley looked yet)
a son William appears in the 1891 as being 30, but not mentioned in the 1881.
