No children shown in 1841 or 1851

William Luscombe & his first wife Eliza Jarvis were married in 1838 . Eliza appears on the 1851census with William

Sheila ............

I think your questions re children are going to be impossible to answer definitively.

This is largely because the only way to determine parents before July 1st 1837, and without buying lots of birth certificates after that date, is to find Parish Registers with baptisms for children with parents named and father's occupation and address shown.

There are a lot of those records on line, but lots more still to be transcribed.

Plus there is no way of knowing about miscarriages and still births, and finding deaths for any births that did occur has the same problem as finding births ....... the need to find parish Registers with the information.


New records are coming online gradually ............. but if you ask this same question again, please come back to this thread so that no-one else repeats all the work done and posted on this thread.

Thank you
