There is a website on ancestry that lists all these children and a marriage for Edward Arthur but this is wrong - Edwards marriage certificate has a different father...

What ceritificate details do you have for this marriage?

Caroline Peters b 27/8/1826 inBethnal Green, bap 7/9/1826 in St Leonards, B Green.

She married John Davis b 1830 Westerham Kent, on 2/2/1851 in St Peters Islington.

I have not yet found them in the 1851 census.

In 1861 They have 5 children and are living in Hackney:
John 30 Solicitors Clerk
Caroline 31 (not quite true)
Caroline Louisa 8 (Islington)
Florence 6 (Hackney)
Frederick John 4 (Hackney)
Edward Arthur 2 (Hackney)
Minnie Rosamund 10mos (Hackney)

By 1871 they have added:
Maude 8 (Hackney)
Constance 6 (Norwood)
Francis W3 (Norwood)
Clara W 1(Brixton)

They are living in Deptford

In 1881 they have moved to Brighton where John (age mistranscribed as 36) is a solicitor.
Caroline (mother) has vanished, as have all children before Constance.
There is a new wife Esther E aged 36 and more children:
Nathaniel G 8 (Peckham)
Blanche 7 (Brixton)
Beatrice M 2 (Peckham)

I can't find any of the above mentioned people after 1881.

Can't find births for the later children in the relevant areas. I did think I had Nathaniel b 1873 in Brighton but he belongs to another family.

No deaths, no marriages for the children and no marriage for a John Davis/Esther????

There is a website on ancestry that lists all these children and a marriage for Edward Arthur but this is wrong - Edwards marriage certificate has a different father...

Help please
