It's likely, from the records I found, that the surname was mistranscribed and it's possible that some/all of the children could have changed their surname to something more English sounding.
cheers guys, its a strange one, but bar the few census details we know nothing about them or what happened to any of the children

How do you know that Betsy/Elizabeth is a Dixon? Do you have her in 1871?
It would have been better if you explained at the start that Dixon was only a possibility for Betsy's maiden name Unfortunately, many of the searches I did yesterday were with the surname Dixon so it's quite possible I missed finding the real records.
