I'm stumped for the children?

Just checked overseas and nothing of interest :-(

Thanks Gins for that - yes that looks like her - dates and birthplace tallies up. That will explain why I couldn't find a death for her! Yes it would be interesting to see who registered the deaths and who witnessed their marriage - might shed some light on the Mortimer children.

Looks like Ann married again

Be interesting to see who registered the death for the both of them and to check the witnesses on the marriage certificate

I haven't ruled that Harry Mortimer in Hackney out so I will go and have a look in to that one Glitterbaby. EDIT - interestingly, he lists Mothernburg as his birthplace but there is no such place in Hampshire - wonder whether they meant Otterbourne?!?

Yes those are the baptisms for the children - I got them from Hampshire Record Office when I went although I know they are on FamilySearch too.

Thanks for the info on the Richard Cousens in Massachusetts - I suspect it isn't him given the fact he took the name Mortimer after his parents married although it's still a possibility which I will have a look in to.

Have you ruled out the Harry Mortimer 1846 on the 1901 census in Hackney Union Workhouse

Name: Harry Mortimer
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1901
Age at Death: 50
Registration district: Hackney
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1b
Page: 264

I am trying to locate whhere the children of Richard Mortimer b 1816 and Mary Ann Cousens (often went by name of Anne) b 1819 dissapear off to.

Richard Mortimer and Mary Ann Cousens married in 1847 in Hampshire and had six children that we are aware of:
Richard Cousens b 1846 Otterbourne, Hampshire
Charles Mortimer b 1849 Otterbourne, Hampshire
Harry Mortimer b 1851 Otterbourne, Hampshire
Emily Mortimer b 1854 Otterbourne, Hampshire
Mary Mortimer b 1857 Otterbourne, Hampshire
Thomas Mortimer b 1860 Otterbourne, Hampshire

The eldest son Richard was born out of wedlock with surname Cousens but he takes on Mortimer surname when parents marry. I have him on 1851 and 1861 census then he disappears.

I have Charles in 1851 and 1861 census but then nothing more.
I have Harry in 1851, 1861 and 1871 then he disappears.
I have Emily in 1861 then she disappears.
I have Mary in 1861 and 1871 then she disappears.
Their youngest child Thomas is the only one I have been able to track and he died in 1861 shortly after being born.

I have their parents on the census up until their deaths - Richard died in 1882. Mary doesn't appear on 1891 census presume she died by then but I haven't found a death for her either.

Any help at locating these children would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
