Could Rhoda/Ann have married someone else before marrying John Fitzpatrick? An Annie Bonner married in 1900- either to Flowers or Smith- I had a quick look for John Fitzpatrick marriages but no real joy. Another alternative for your John and Ann "Bonner" in 1911. I have seen before where a couple weren't married and they appear under the WIFE'S surname (as do all the children). My guess is that the census taker called round while John was at work and started proceedings by asking her her name- being unmarried to the man of her life she gave her current surname (Bonner), the census taker has then written down the "husband's" name using the wife's surname (this is a guess mind but fits the facts when the whole family show up under her previous married name) For those that are interested the family I spotted this in originally is the family of Glyndwr Michael "the man that never was" , you will find him in 1911 as Glyndwr Cottrell with parents Thomas "Cottrell" (Michael) and Sarah Cottrell (ne Chadwick) (indexed as Cothell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardess Posted 1 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2019 Oh, goodness, I hate to disappoint you but I already had this information. Rhoda Jane [?] Newsom married John Bonner in 1886 and John died in 1898. [In the 1891 Census the family were living in the Bordesley district of Birmingham.] I don't think she married John Fitzpatrick [or, if she did I haven't located it] and 1901 the family were Fitzpatrick and in 1911 [for possibly the reason you guess at] they are Bonner. Clarence John Earnell Bonner was born in 1897 and his mother's maiden name was Earnell, so not part of this family. Thank you for taking an interest and I'm sorry you've wasted a good couple of hours here but it is really appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
