Jeanette, Thanks for checking the 1851 image for Emma as she seemed a bit too old to have Frances and John as her children. Marie, John probably had to live in at the school - possibly permanent or at least some night. 1861 - possible as Fanny is another name for Frances Name: Fanny Beckford Age: 15 Estimated birth year: abt 1846 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Handon, Hertfordshire, England Civil parish: Ware Town: Ware County/Island: Hertfordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Ware Sub-registration district: Ware ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 5

Just realised, haven't got John in 1871 either. He didn't die until 1879 so should be somewhere to be found !!

Looking at the 1851 image I think it gives Emma's age as 43, William 13, George 12, Samuel 9, Frances 5 and John 3.

He's still a schoolmaster for the Workhouse - on the index as John J Beckford
