Folks,
Wiliam Wade bc 1828 in Stilton married Sarah Haywood in Yaxley on 29 May 1851 but the entry shows his father as William Mays.My feeling is that Williams mother re-married after her husband died but i can find nothing to prove this as Stilton records do not seem to be online.
Any ideas?

Hi Eric,
Think this might be similar to my great-grandfather. He was baptised on the day his (presumed) parents married. Was listed on the census under his (presumed)father's surname on the census while he lived at home, but then used his correct (i.e. his mother's) surname after he left home. Led me a merry dance trying to find him on the census, his redeeming grace being that he used his father's surname as a middle name for his two sons.
From what I can see, in the 1841 census, living in Stilton, there's a William Mayes (sic), aged 40, with Ann (36), William (16). Francis (12), John (4), Mary (8), Sarah (6), and George (1 month).
Census reference HO107/452/22 folio 17 page 32.
1851 census William junior is no longer at home. Aged 25, living in Yaxley, born in Stilton, and calling himself Wade.
Census reference HO107/1747 folio 142 page 1.
Likely burial of William Mays senior, aged 70, on 14 October 1870, in Stilton. (From transcript on FMP.)
In 1871, Ann Mays is shown as a widow, aged 72, living in Stilton.
Bearing in mind William junior's possible birth year of c1825, FMP have a index of a marriage of William Mayes to Ann Wade in Stilton in 1827.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

Just seen the entry in the 1881 census for Samuel Beeton and Sarah Ann, there is a Lucy Mays, a visitor, age 29.
