  Family 2	Elizabeth MEW,   b. Abt 1862, Headcorn, Kent, England ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Married	Aft 1881
  	William and Elizabeth could not have legally married, since a man could not married his deceased wife's sister. In 1881 Elizabeth is with William and his young daughter, shown as sister-in-law and as housekeeper. By 1891 Elizabeth was living as William's wife, although there seems to be no marriage registration, and there were more children - presumably children of both Elizabeth and William. The 1911 census shows that William had had 12 children, of whom 2 had died, while Elizabeth had had 10, of whom 2 had died, so it appears that there was one who I have not found.
  Married?	Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry
  Children	9 children
