Looking For A Marriage Record

Anna Alekseeva (the widow sergeant)?

It's not indicated how she's related to him, which means she could be a renter at his home.
His mother should have been listed as his mother, because it was required to name the relation in the household, as apparently the household should be a family, but sometimes there could be other people unrelated to the owner.

The only thing that puzzles me is the age of the parents and children according to the confession book found by OlgaKob in 1828. If Mikhail and Stepanida were respectively 36 and 30 years old in 1828, then in 1810 when they married they had 18 and 12 years old

I have a little question about Ivan and Anne Nechaev. They are present in the confession book in 1828 but not in the census 1834-1850. Are they dead or did they just leave the house ?

[/q]

Ivan had probably moved out. Anna had probably married away. The censuses in Russia didn't record genealogical relations, but households, i.e. if someone moved out they were listed in a different household.
Women in the 19th century censuses were only presented as of now, without reference to the previous census. So, if a daughter married away, it wasn't indicated.

Only in 1830, the marriage age was officially regulated in Russia, with minimum 16 years for females and 18 years for males. However, age of girls under 16 still can be found.
At the same time, until you find the actual birth record, you don't know the exact age.

how do you do research in the censuses exactly?
I still have a little trouble with the site.
Is the 1816 census at this link: https://yandex.ru/archive/cata...c53c156b/2
if it is there, how to find the Nechaev without having to search the 1000+ pages?

Another question comes to my mind. Is there any way to find a photo of Grigory Nechaev? as he was a soldier I thought that there was perhaps a photo of him somewhere

[/q]

Theoretically, if there's a file on him as an officer in an archive, but it's unlikely so it contains any photo, because it was the 19th century and photos were still quite rare. He could also appear on a group photo with his corps, but would you recognize him? If so, you can search for the right corps photos.
