Someone of 29 with a 13-yr-old g-dtr? Arithmetically extraordinary! He'd have to have been a 16-yr-old with a child old enough to have a child. Could she be a God-Daughter? Mis-heard by enumerator, with un-engaged brain! Christine |

Unlike step or in-law relationships, granddaughetr usually means what it says. Presumably she is the child of a married daughter, you need to look for any daughters he may have had, and then their marriages, before you consider any more obscure relationships. Jennifer |

Yes, it is Robert Britten, born 1852 in northamptonshire. He can be found on the 1881 census living in Bethnal green. His supposed grandaughter is Anne Wrigley, born 1868! I would love to know if there is an obvious explanation. (I am very good at missing the obvious) Claire xx |

Could you give their names and which census it was, plus where they lived? Hopefully someone will work it out! Merry |

My gtx2 grandfather on one census is 29 yrs old, living with his wife (28) and children. and GRANDAUGHTER aged 13!!!! I can't work out the maths! She hasn't got the same name as the family, but I checked the neighbours and she doesn't seem to belong to them either. Who could she be? Claire xx |

I know that relationships quoted on census sometimes meant a different thing from what they do now, but how about this?..... see below in a sec. |
