I cannot find Phillip or Edward after 1841, how certain are you that Susan Ledwidge is the lady with George Seckerson in 1851, 61 and 71?

George Seckerson 42, cabinet maker
Susan Seckerson 40
Wiliam Collings 20, stepson
Ann Collings 12, stepdau
Susan Seckerson 8, dau.
*All said to be born Devon which is in disagreeance with the 1861 census.

George Seckerson 56, cabinet maker, Guernsey
Susan Seckerson 50, Devonport
Susan Seckerson 18, Jersey.
If William and Ann Collings are Susan's children it indicates Susan was previously named Collings, also Susan was 20 in 1841, 40 in 1851 and 50 in 1861, so a jump of 6 to 10yrs allowing for the 1841 census rounding ages down by up to 4yrs.
There's "Ancestry" suggested records for Susan born abt. 1843 that she was born COLLINGS and married William NETTLES.
Scottish Stranraer census 1871
William Nettles 36, Coastguard, Ireland
Susannah Nettles 27, Jersey
Julia Anne Nettles 9, England
Henrietta Nettles 6, England
Elizabeth Nettles 2, Stranraer
Susannah Nettles 8 Mo, Stranraer
Birth reg. Henrietta Nettles, Oct-Nov-Dec 1866 Stoke Damerel
Birth reg. Julia Ann Nettles, Apr - Jun 1862, Stoke Damerel
Marriage: Stoke Damerel, Apr - Jun 1861, William Nettles also listed Susannah Collings
It appears that William died in 1875
Name: William Nettles
Death Age: 39
Birth Date: abt 1836
Death Date: abt 1875
Death Place: Naval Asylum Yarmouth
Burial Date: 11 Jan 1875
Burial Place: Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Cemetery: Yarmouth Old Cemetery
There's also a *suggestion* that Susan remarried some time after William's death (to John H Lawrence)
I don't know the accuracy of the above, but offer them to you for your consideration.
Please can you say what steps you took to get back to George Seckerson and his wife/partner Susan.
It is possible Philip Ledwidge (1841) had two first names, William Philip, and further that the surname was oft recorded with different spellings.
There is this burial record which could be him. St Helier, Burial 21 Nov 1861, William Philip LEDWITH, Approx birth year = 1820
And in 1851, Providence Street, St Helier. HO107; Piece: 2527; Folio: 482; Page: 50

Which family is it you are researching? Seckerson or Ledwich/Ledwith/Ledwidge?
