If a child was born and died between the censuses then it will be difficult to find them.

The problem is that when John is married to Susan his year of birth is 1856 to 1860 from the censuses, but in the 1861 and 1871 censuses posted he would appear to be born in 1852/1853?

1861 census may be them? Would you know if they had anymore children apart from Eliza,jane,john?

John's place of birth varies from census to census.
The 1901 claims Leavesden Green, Hertfordshire, or Leavers (?) Herts.
Other times, Kent.
Have you found 'Bandstead' on a map?

Julieann, can you give us the birth years and birthplaces of Eliza, Jane and John? That way we can be sure of locating the right family.
