greyghost - I'm trying to trace what happened to Martha, Sarah and Richard.

I suspect the burial entry you've flagged up could be Martha, but she could be a daughter that died before baptism, or has baptism missing from the register.

Having looked at the transcripts, John Tey is the son of Joseph and Elizabeth. There are some others for that couple as well.

Martha Tow was baptised 1804 at Farndon, Nottinghamshire, daughter of Joseph Tow and Susanna(h) Linegar.(Baptisms for the first 3 children have been shown as Toll rather than Tow by Notts FHS). She was one of 8 children. I've managed to trace what happened to 5 of the 8, but am struggling with the other 3. Sarah b 1808 & Richard b 1809 are the other children I can't trace, both baptised in Farndon. By 1841 father Joseph is a widower and living alone in Farndon. In tracing members of the Tow family I have found variants Towe & Toe, and mistranscriptions Low, Lowe & Loe.

Can anyone else track any of the 3 down?
