It looks like this Reizia (daughter of Itzchok Lemchik) might have been Shimon Markov's second wife. In 1858, Shimon's wife is Reyzya Yeynova (born ca. 1820). She does not appear in any other document that I am aware of. Reyzya Itskova (born ca. 1821) appears as the wife of Shimon in 1882, 1892 and 1897. Shimon's son Itsko is born in 1840, and yet Reyzya's father Itzchok died in 1843. Since they never named children after living ancestors, this seems to confirm that Reyzya Itskova cannot be the mother of Itsko Markov. On the other hand, in 1897 she is said to be the mother of Rachel Pritsker (nee Markov), who was born in 1855. If Reyzya Itskova was married to Shimon in 1855, then she must be the same "Reyzya" who appears in 1858, mistakenly given the patronymic "Yeynova." I guess it's still possible that they're the same person if Itzchok Lemchik's death was actually at least three years earlier. Also, it's possible that Itsko was actually born in 1843 -- in 1858 his age is 18yrs (b.1840), but in 1875 it's 33yrs (b.1842 or 43?). I'm left with more questions than answers, and I'd appreciate if anyone can offer some insight.

You are right, there are many inaccuracies in the dates in the censuses. Yitzhok Lemchik may have died a few years earlier. It may also be that Yitzhok Markov was born later.
