Hi EBN
Thanks for the lookups all the information is very helpful. I have just found on the 1871 census that John and Fanny are shown as man and wife, looks like they were not quite honest about there marital status? and if there children's ages are correct Fanny would have had her 1st child at 13 years of age.
Best wishes,
Adrian

Fanny is down as 52 on the 1901 census and 32 on the 1881 census, so she was born in 1849.
She would have been 22 when she had the [twins?] John and Sarah .
Or are there older chidren you know about ?
Sorry I have just noticed the marriage date I gave is down wrong ! It was 1866 not 1886 ! :-[ :-[ :-[

John senior was born in Fairford in Gloucestershire

Mar 1866 Hereford
Marriage of John Beenham
One of two possible wives is Fanny Davies
In 1871, Rachel, 8, may have been from an earlier marriage.
