Rosinish.  Yes, John died in India, I have that, but what I have does not mention his wife. Other children.. daughter Ruth born 1811, Rathkeal, Limerick, Ireland. That is also where John and Jane were married, 1 June !806. Jane born St. Helena, St. James Parish October 29, 1816, baptized 1December, 1816. A note says "Returned to England December 10, 1816." I wonder if they will show up in the English census of 1817, ( I goofed up earlier looking for 1811 census!) A son, John Robert was born Jan 29, 1819, Chatham, Kent, England. When Ruth was born John was a Lt., when Jane was born he was Lt. Adjutant. In 1821 Jane applied for a widow's pension. She had to prove she was his wife. The clergy who married them provided a letter saying he married them. Can't find what she received. She was still a widow when son John Robert became an ensign in the 11th of Foot (North Devinshire) 29 December 1838.

It seems likely that the family was in Ireland in 1811, judging by information in reply #9.

 1817 "census". Employment statistics collated from information in baptism registers. You appear to have that information already.
