Father Henry VOGWELL, b. Abt 1817, Kingsteignton, Devon, England , d. Sep Q 1890, Tynemouth Reg Dist, Northumberland, England (Age ~ 73 years)
Other Partners: Jane PELLEW m. 28 Jun 1838; Jane WEDLAKE m. Jun Q 1850Mother Betsey BAILEY, b. Abt 1826, Whitchurch, Devon, England , d. Sep Q 1908, Easington Reg Dist, Co. Durham, England (Age ~ 82 years) Married - Assuming Henry became a widower for a second time before marrying Betsey, then they must have married between the 1851 and the 1861 censuses.
Not only can no such marriage be found but Marian Warriner's notes record that Bessie had 4 children who were adopted by Henry: Thomas, James, John and William. However, the sons of these names appearing in the census returns were clearly registered as Vogwills when born, not as Baileys, and for the last 2 at least the births were after the censuses show that Henry and Betsey were living together as a married couple.
But maybe Henry and Betsey had not married and so legally the sons were not his?
Formal adoption did not exist at this time but Henry may have informally have adopted his own sons by registering them with himself shown as father.
(The four named as being adopted were children 1,2,6 and 7 of the 8 Henry and Betsey appear to have had together; the other 4 all died in infancy)
The daughter, Kathryn, of one of those said to be adopted, William, said her father used to say he was one of thirteen sons by two wives - it is hard to imagine he would have said this is he was adopted and not a biological son of Henry.
Since no death has been found for Henry's 2nd wife, Jane nee Wedlake, perhaps he did not marry Betsey because he was already married? [1]
