i was interested in this story ;tried looking for ebenezer in 1911 census
didnt find him

found Caleb  in Chiddingly ....what are the sisters married names ?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the responses.

I've looked at the 1911 census. I guess that some of those children were, indeed, grandchildren.

Someone asked for the married names of the sisters,

Martha married John Roser in 1865,

I'm yet to find a husband for Lucy,

Elizabeth married Job Guy in 1868,

Esther married in in 1896 but am unsure which man is her husband,

I'm yet to find a husband for Ann,

I'm yet to find a husband for Mary,

and Bessie married Frederick Rayner in 1889.

Ebenezer can be found living with his wife Caroline Boniface on the 1911 census.

Hello

Can't post the details but can I suggest that you look for Ann and William in the 1911 census and see how many years married and how many children they have had and how many are still alive.   It may help in your puzzle - they are very easily found.

I agree with Nesta, look at 1911 if you can.  Then start looking into the daughters,   

1911 England Census removed by moderator

I've been researching my fourth great grandma, Ann, who was born in 1827 in Sussex.

According to the census records, she and her husband William Tompsett had 13 children together in the space of 33 years. They are as follows,

Martha Tomsett, born 1846

Lucy Tomsett, born 1848

Elizabeth Tomsett, born 1849

William Tomsett, born 1849

John Tompsett, born 1854

George Tomsett, born 1857

Edward Tomsett, born 1860

Caleb Tomsett, born 1861

Esther Tomsett, born 1863

Mary A Tomsett, born 1866

Ann Tomsett, born 1868

Bessie Tompsett, born 1869


Then, ten years later, we have:

Ebenezer Tompsett, born 1879, when Ann would have been around 52 

Is this really feasible? I understand that women can and do have children later on in life, but was this common before the days of modern medical science? And why would there be a ten year gap between the births of Bessie and Ebenezer?

I apologise for sounding ignorant, but I feel like something is off somewhere here? 

I may be way off the mark here but things do not seem to add up.

There is a previous post by the OP here:

The 1911 Census shows the same family and indicates that John and Fanny had been married for 20 years.

Gail

Hi, sorry for the confusion, Susan Frances Provo was later known as Frances Susan Provo and then when married she was known as Fanny Horton. I know that John was definitely in the marines or the navy, confusingly his son with Frances/Fanny was also called John and was also in the Navy

There's one Louisa Provo in the 1881 census living in Tottenham.

The family is:
Leonara Wood  Widow Age 51 b. Newton Abbot, Devon
Louise Provo Widow Mother age 22 b. Ireland (further census entries say Dublin)
Gladys N Provo Daughter age 2 b. Enfield, Middlesex

You don't give any dates - is this the right time frame?

Pheno

Thank you, I think the time frame would be around 1850?
