	Could son in law also mean stepson in 1800's. I have mr and Mrs Austin and two boys , surname Bland. Could they be Sarah's children from previous marriage? regards Sunny

	Thanks so much everyone for your replies. Did find parents, Sarah widowed, then married again. Boys from 1st marriage. therefore stepsons.
