On the actual image the wife is listed as Mrs. Bovey married 36 years, 6 children born 4 living, 2 had died. The names of the living children have been listed then crossed out. Also a Grandson named Ernest Payne, aged 5. Mrs. Bovey's birthplace is listed a CHATHAM, KENT - same place as Sarah's on earlier census!

I am going to try to piece all this information together. I was wondering if he had married twice or moved on and had an extended family.
I will gather all the info I have and see if I can make heads or tails of it.
the problem is so many Francis's.
Many thanks again for all your help.

Yes it looks like he was with Sarah and then Elizabeth. I think they both called theirs sons Francis just to complicate things. Also his father John Bovey married a Sarah Jeboult. Now to see if i can find Johns father.
May thanks for all your help.
