it's around the right time and right place

but definitely the children's birth certificate is the way to go

It would help if you could give details of the info you found on the censuses down the years... and the childrens names and dates too.

Can anyone help with this enquiry?
Hephazibah - this spelling seems correct, although the Census makes a "pigs ear" of it down the years - was born 1850 in Hastings/ Battle, Sussex.
She "Married" Frederick Wenham and they had children. BUT i can't find either a marriage entry or a birth entry for her?? HELP!!
