Adoption records in 1871 based on census infosvg000% 5 年sto板:Ystrsthl1 ibaggldatechage S

I have just stumbled over the fact that my Great x 3 Grandmother remarried a Charles Chant.

My Great x 2 Grandfather Henry is listed along with his sister Fanny as step children.

Does this mean that Charles actually adopted Fanny and Henry? I do t know anything about researching adoptions.

The legal process for adoption wasn't introduced in England & Wales until 1926/7.

The relationship on the census shows exactly what the situation was - that they were children of his wife, not his, and weren't using (or known by) his surname. There is no suggestion from that that any form of adoption took place.
