Be careful too I have my Scott GGGreat-Grandparents on the 1841 Census.They had been married for three months but she is enumerated as Helen Veitch not Scott.I guess her Father forgot she was married or she was following in Border tradition & keeping her maiden name.
It was good luck though because it confirmed their identities & also gave me her Father/Step-mother & cousin.The cousin led me to solve a long standing mystery of "Who's that woman in the photo"-her mother in Australia c1868.
