Been looking at the 1911 census page for my 3xgreat grandfather and investigating the marriage of his son, who he's living with. There are five people on the page and I think pretty much every relationship is covered!
Hope it's OK to put this clipped bit of the page here...
Thomas Jones = Benjamin's son
Alice Jones (nee Corfield) = Eliza's daughter
Thomas / Alice = husband/wife + 1st cousins
Benjamin / Eliza = brother/sister
Thomas / Eliza = nephew / aunt
Alice / Thomas = niece / uncle
Walter + Benjamin/Eliza = grandparent/grandchild
Have I missed any?
Also added to that is that Benjamin's first wife (not Thomas's mother though) was Isabella Corfield who was the sister of Eliza's husband, Thomas Corfield. There was a third Jones sibling who married a third Corfield sibling.
I'm beginning to think there was a lack of good marriage material in the area! It's a wonder we haven't all got 6 toes (although I'm descended from the son of Benjamin and Isabella so waters were a bit less muddied there!)

I would not worry about it - I am descended from a couple who were not allowed to marry because she was the widow of his uncle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I'm not worried, I think it's hilarious! It's got to the point where I just go 'oh for goodness sake, another blooming Jones/Corfield marriage!'. Apparently Eliza married in secret because her father didn't approve!
