I am looking for two of his children from his first marriage - Ann & Betsy.
Ann baptised 20 Jan 1833 Eaton, and
Betsy baptised 09 Jan 1840 Eaton
Sarah was buried 22 Sep 1842 at Eaton.
Francis secondly married Mary SILLS a single woman at Eaton 10 Jul 1843. Mary was baptised Eaton 25 Feb 1816.
Francis and Mary's three children were baptised at Eaton:
Robert 01 Sep 1844
Francis 06 May 1847
Ellen 23 Jan 1849
In the 1851 census Francis & Mary were at Undrill, Eaton, Melton Mowbray. With them were:
Betsy aged 11
Robert aged 6
Francis aged 4
Eleanor [Ellen] aged 2
[Ann was not listed]
(Edit) Ann married Matthew BISHOP 04 Jul 1859 Melton Mowbray.Registration district: Melton Mowbray; Archive reference: HO107; Piece number: 2091; Folio: 506; Page: 3
I located Mary and her and Francis daughter Ellen in the 1861 census visiting Henry & Sarah SADDINGTON at Market Overton, Oakham, Rutland & Leicestershire, England.

Francis was buried 18 Dec 1865.
After that I lose track of the family.
Assistance to locate the family will be much appreciated.
