Hello,
I am seeking details about all the family of Job Harding (bap 1834). In 1878 he married Susan Jane Collins (b 1853 Ross, Herefordshire). They had 5 children: John J (1879), George (1881), Alfred (1884), William (1887) and Job (1889) all born Stroud.
Job Harding died in 1892 in Stroud.
I have found the family in 1881 and 1891 Census but then they seem to "disappear". What has happened to them? Hoping that someone can help find them. Thank you.

Hello keyboard86,
Thank you. That explains where three of the children were in 1901! But where were George, Job and their mother Susan? I thought that she might have remarried.

Hi I believe the 12 year old James was in fact the Job James Harding birth June qtr 1889 Stroud, so missing we have Susan, George & John Thomas Harding ( Not John J as you have described)

Hello shepway,
Thank you for all this welcome information, I am sorry to know that another (Paget) relation died in the First World War. This particular family suffered such a loss, from NZ, of so many young lives, wasted.
The remaining mystery now is what happened to Susan Harding?
