I am trying to find information on Hannah and Robert Leonards children.
Robert Leonard was born approx 1832 in Staffordshire and married Hannah. They are on the 1871 census and have the following children William age 10, Herbert age 8 and Edwin age 4.
Hannah shows on the 1891 census as a widow. I think William Leonard possibly shows on the 1891 census but with year of birth as 1864. But that is all the information I can find on William, Herbert and Edwin after 1871 census. I have looked on the free bdm site and can't see any record of there death between 1871 and 1891.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try next to see what happened to them next?

Many Thanks,
Georgina
