    Sorry Christina year should be 1890

    Otherwise she would be registered as Edwards having been born after marriage.

    I can see a birth for Edwin William Kennington Windsor reg dist. March 1/4 1881 2c/452 but can't see a death reg as yet so if he didn't die where is he in 1891.

    A good possibility for James Kennington who in 1881 census says he was born Binfield. This 1871 census does say he was born Wokingham Wiltshire but the family is living in Binfield Easthampstead so if they moved there when James was young it is probably the only place he remembers living in
    1871 RG10 piece 1294 folio 49 page 8
    Cottages Binfield .Easthampstead
    Charles Kennington 50 ag lab Wokingham, Wiltshire
    Eliza Kennington 40 Easthampstead, Wiltshire
    Charles Kennington 16 Wokingham, Wiltshire
    Simon Darborn 21 son-in-law (possibly more like stepson as there is no wife (dau of Charles) present in household.)
    James Kennington 10 Wokingham, Wiltshire
    Mary Kennington 3 Wokingham, Wiltshire
    Catherine Kennington 6 Wokingham, Wiltshire
    William Kennington 4 Wokingham, Wiltshire
    Mildred Kennington 3 Wokingham, Wiltshire

    On the same page FreeBMD
    Marriages Dec 1/4 1859
    Eliza Darbourn and Charles Kennington Wokingham 2c/836

    Births March 1/4 1859
    Simon Darbourne Easthampstead 2c/407

    1861 RG 9 piece 750 folio 107 page 8
    Back Lane Wokingham
    Charles Kennington 39 Farming 17 acres Wokingham, Berkshire
    Eliza Kennington 27 Easthampstead, Berkshire
    Ellen Kennington 12
    Louisa Kennington 9
    Charles Kennington 6
    Simon Kennington 3
    James Kennington 4 months

    Listed immediately below this family is a William Kennington age 75, a widow, ag lab, born Binfield

    I can't find a birth for Ellen age 12 or for a Simon Kennington age 3 so is this Simon age 3 the Simon Dauborn born 1858 and why would he be a Kennington in this census and not in 1881?
    Is this Eliza the same one as in the 1871 and 1881 censuses? If it is then she and Charles married many years after their children were born which can happen.
