Giz a butchers then ! At first glance at your info,I thought he was called that because of his age-my great grandgfather fathered his last child,at the age of 62,and his wife was 37.it is quite unusual and perhaps explains the extra effort made by the enumerator. |

I have it scanned in already. If anyone would like to take a look and see what they think, let me know! |

Yes, because the children's surnames are usually given as 'do' rather than in full, aren't they? But if he actually had a different surname it would have to be written in. Is there any way you can scan the image in and send it to some of us to look at or post it up on a website? Kate. |

At the moment I don't know anything about them BUT that would actually make sense if this indecipherable word after the BIBB in younger Joseph's name was actually his surname. I'm not even sure whether these are actually 'mine' but I'm determined to investigate them! |

That would make sense Kate. Didn't want people thinking he was just a stepson. Cat - do you know the wife's maiden name? Perhaps you could try to find the son's birth reference (if he was registered). Kath. x |

It suggests to me that he might have been 'illegitimate'? Perhaps born before the marriage to Sarah? Kate. |

Perhaps the boy was a bit of a brat, and Sarah filled in the Census form.... Olde Crone |

Hmm...the rather large age gap hadn't escaped my notice either! |

Maybe the head of the household was just bragging, seeing the difference in age of him and his wife, lol Seriously though, I have no idea why. Kath. x |

From the 1851 census living Westminster Joseph Bibb HEAD 62 Attorney at Law b. Surrey, Battersea Sarah A Bibb WIFE 29 birthplace unreadable Joseph J Bibb NATL SON 7 Scholar b. Middlesex St Annes Soho There's also something written between the younger Joseph's surname and the relationship that I can't make out either. Natural son as the relationship to the head of the house? Any idea why the younger Joseph would be described as this on a census? Never seen a relationship described like that before and it has me intrigued! Thanks Lou |
