I am trying to confirm the birth, christening and death date of a Jane Osborn - born to George Osborn and Hannah Lambly. The information I have is as follows:
George Osborn (b 10/04/1764, Rochester, Kent - d 05/05/1836, Rochester, Kent)
Hannah Lambly (b 07/12/1769 - Ipswich, Suffolk - d 18/12/1847, Rochester, Kent
Children:
George Osborn (b 17/04/1802, england - d 13/03/1803, england) - I need to confirm this as well
George Osborn (b 28/03/1808, england - d 18/04/1891, england) married Elizabeth Chubb 16/08/1833 (b 11/1810, england - chr 06/01/1811 - d12/05/1898)
Jane Osborn - I have 2 conflicting christening dates for her:
b 01/12/1779, england - Chr 18/08/1798, London - Chr 14/01/1798, Bethel-Wesleyan, Rochester, Kent.
I am leaning towards the second christening date being correct as the parents are from Rochester, Kent.
If anyone can confirm these dates of offer the correct ones it would be great, and I would also like to know if there are any other children.

Hi Shannon
This looks as though it could be rather confusing. It's always best to start with what you know for certain ie. can we assume that you are looking for a Jane OSBORN? If so, do you not have some idea of her age/birthplace from census returns/marriage/post 1812 burial in England/post 1837 death in England? Or are you tracing back from George OSBORN and Elizabeth CHUBB? Let us know where you are at (forgetting the IGI refs for the minute) and we're all try and help 
The parish registers for Rochester are online http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/query/results/?Mode=Search&PathList=%2FZ4a_Medway_Ancestors%2F%0A&SearchWords=&DateList
This doesn't include non-conformist baptisms but marriages prior to 1837 took place in the local C of E church apart from Quakers and Jews. Again, the C of E burials may contain those of non-conformist persons also if they didn't have their own independant burial ground.

Ok Shannon. Were your ancestors C of E? Did George & Hannah marry in Rochester? If so, have you searched the CMB registers for Rochester and surrounding parishes?

Hi Shannon
Yes, C of E is church of England and all those regsiters are online (link given in above post) for Rochester and nearby parishes.
Are you descended from George and Hannah or are they an offshoot from your branch?

Ok, do you have the family on all the census ie. 1841 right through to 1901?

Shannon, if you would like some help in finding the family in all the census years to make sure that you're on the right track then do post the family as you know it should appear in 1901 and somebody will take a look for you.
Best wishes

Below are all the children baptised to George and Hannah Osborn at the Bethel- Wesleyan Chapel Rochester from the IGI. You already know their son George was born in Rochester and was a Wesleyan Methodist Minister and that his father George was a draper and died in 1836. I appreciate about cost but £3.50 to get sent electronically almost immediately George the elder's PCC will from the National Archives, which would hopefully clear up which of his children were still alive and what the married names of his daughters were is a small but extremely useful investment. Armed with that knowledge other researchers could help you find information about them from the later censuses. Most of us would jump at the chance of finding a will of one of our ancestors, exchange rate or no exchange rate - £3.50 is a lot cheaper than buying a certificate and usually gives a lot more information.
Will of George Osborn, Linen Draper of Chatham , Kent
Date 24 August 1836
Catalogue reference PROB 11/1866

The other two dates on the IGI for Jane Osborn are not taken from parish registers but submitted by an LDS church member.
You can check all this for yourself since the IGI is free to anyone on the interent.

George Osborn the son varies his place of birth on the censuses between Rochester Kent where he was born and Chatham Kent where presumably he spent some of his childhood but he is fairly consistent on his age and a birth of circa 1808.
