Looking for possible children of George Beynon and Emmeline Bennett, marr 1883

[amazon510]

Hi,

I would like to discover if George Beynon (b. 1856), master mariner, and his wife Emmeline Bennett (b. 1860) (sometimes spelled Emmaline) had any children.  They were married in September 1883, in Plymouth, parish unknown, both of Cornwall originally but I believe living in Plymouth.  George was probably captain of a ship called the Rosebud.  Emmeline seems to have traveled with George at least some of the time because she is found along with her husband on board the Rosebud in the 1891 census.  The 1891 census does not list any children, so I am wondering did they not have any, or did they have children who were left ashore?  George died in January, 1897, so that is the latest year any children could be expected of this marriage.  George died in a colonial port, but Emmeline was not with him, reason unknown - possibly pregnant or home with a new baby?

Thanks,

Jennifer.

No Children with her in 1901 Census or the next where none are listed as living or dead.

She died 1956 age 97 as Emaline A Beynon.

Thank you Trish, that rules out a child born in 1897 anyway.  She still could have had a child in the first year or two of her marriage who was 16-18 years old and living elsewhere, but it certainly narrows the possibilities.

Much appreciated,

Jennifer.

Hi Jennifer,
In 19.. Census;
No Children are are listed as living or dead to her.

Hi Trish,

Would the census list her children if they were alive but not living with her, or does it list all children regardless of whether they are in the same household?

Thanks,

Jennifer.

HI Jennifer

In the 1911 census the question was asked of the wife,how many years married and how many children have been born alive to the current marriage,and  how many of those are still alive.

People did get a little confused by it though and sometimes named children who had already died,a great help if we did not know of them.

It would seem as though your family didn't actually have any children......up to 1911 anyway

Excellent, that answers my question.  Thank you as well for the information about the 1911 census, I did not realize it had that much detail.

thanks,

Jennifer.
