Hi, All, thank you for your help, itdoes look like Betsey died in 1847, I wonder what happened to William ? Perhaps he could not cope with little ones on his own, nowadays we can not begin to imagine what it was like for a lone parent. I will keep the info, one day the pieces may fit together. Many thanks for all your help. Donna.

I can't see them but I looked for the younger family memebers. I found in 1851 George Knapp Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Relation: Pauper Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Great Bedwin, Wiltshire, England Civil parish: Hungerford County/Island: Berkshire Country: England Source information: HO107/1686 Registration district: Hungerford Sub-registration district: Kintbury He is in some sort of workhouse, he has a 9 year old Hannah Knapp with him, but no parents. The age for George is 2 years out from the 1839 George, so it may not be the same one Linda
