Help needed with 1911 puzzle please
I have just got the 1911 image for my gg uncle Douglas Stowell, (with a little help from a friend
 ) & it has just totally confused me. In 1901, he is a bus driver & living with his mother in London. According to the 1911, he has been married 14 years & has a 13 year old son Douglas Betrie & 2 other children! He did marry the lady who is listed as his wife, but not until 1914. I can't find a birth for Douglas Bertie or find the the mother, Alberta v Turnedge (c1873 Chelmsford Essex) in 1901. Can anyone help me unravel this please? I do not currently have a sub to ancestry.Thanks

Are you sure that is the same one, as she married under the name Turnedge, not Dutton? Or perhaps she was still married?

If she didn't get a divorce (which she may have done) it would have been a bigamous marriage in 1914 as John Dutton didn't die until 1921:
Deaths Mar 1921 Dutton John D 56 Hackney 1b 421 You could look to see what he was doing in 1911!

How bizarre! Why would Douglas claim that they had 3 children & list Douglas B as his son on the census?
Just seen your last comment, that is even worse!!!, I don't actually have credit for the 1911 either at the moment sadly. Last edited by Lynn the Forest Fan; 25-02-10 at 21:02.
