No, he says he's a bachelor, and in such a small community, people would have known

ErikaH - can't take the credit for the 1891 census - that was rootgatherer and I admit to that leading me to the 1901

But that 1871 you've posted has Virginia aged 1. The birth we found previously was 1873 for Prudence Virginia so she couldn't have been on the 1871 census

So is she the 4th ' missing' child?

Apologies, rootgatherer - didn't mean to overlook your valuable contribution. Getting a bit bog-eyed now, what with this and the Maw thread!

I think we can call it a day on this - phew!

Erika, they married on the 4th September 1874 both down as single. So looks like they lived together, if so why did the children take the mother's surname. Looks like you found the 15th child Virgina b 1870. Great

helina

Looks like Virgina died in 1872

Probably took Mother's name because Mother not married when they were born. Unless the Father was at the Registration and admitted paternity they would be registered that way.

Could even be that John wasn't the Father of the first 2 but accepted them as his own.

I would think Prudence would be his as she was born after 1871 when they were already co-habiting and possibly Arthur who was registered Q1 1871

Not one of the missing children, but -

I noticed that in your opening post you don't give a death date for Martha 1885.

Just in case you don't know, she married in 1908:
