This should be a simple hunt for you all I would like to confirm my information for my Stephens / Stevens family and marry / kill them all off (and follow them through the census where possible)
Dorcas Stephens christened April 1806 St Enoder  the daughter of Richard Stephens and Joan / Jane / Joanna Mullies

I have tentative links who i think are Richards Parents but I would like someone else to confirm them as being correct.

Dorcas had several brothers and sisters I have not really worked on this branch so they all need marrying / killing off.

Dorcas married Stephen Vinton on 30th April 1832 no-one knows where or when he was born he  is NBIC on 1841 census and he was buried on 5th November 1846 aged 47  it would be a miracle if more can be found out about him but I don’t think it can be.
Dorcas and Stephen had several children
After Stephens death Dorcas was taken to the workhouse with some with two of her children Edward and Samuel but on 30 Sept 1858 she married a younger man, Richard Bennett (she is described as Dorcas Vincent) and she is with him in 1861
Dorcas died in 1884 aged 78

Children of Richard & Joan:

1792   Enoder, St.   Ann   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1793   Enoder, St.   Richard   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1796   Enoder, St.   John   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1797   Enoder, St.   Elizabeth   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1799   Enoder, St.   James   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1800   Enoder, St.   Jinifer   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1802   Enoder, St.   Mary   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1812   Enoder, St.   Thomas   STEPHENS   Richard   Jane   
1805   Enoder, St.   William   STEPHENS   Richd   Jane   
1806   Enoder, St.   Dorcas   STEPHENS   Richd   Jane   
1808   Enoder, St.   Constance   STEPHENS   Richd   Jane   
1810   Enoder, St.   Constance   STEPHENS   Richd   Jane   

You will note that all these give mothers name as Jane and not Joan
I can find no marriage for Richard Stephens to a Jane (in the right timeframe)
Only the Richard Stephens / Joan Mullies one in 1791 in St Enoder which obviously ties in with the christenings
Equally there appear to be no children christened to Richard Stephens with mother Joan

There appears to be no bp. for Francis who appears on the 1841 census however Joan Mullies father was called Francis 

The first Constance Stephens died well presumably this is her there is no age given but it does say dau. of Richard Stephens
Day Month   13?-Jun
Year   1808
Parish Or Reg District   Enoder, St.
Forename   Constance
Surname   STEPHENS
Age   
Residence   
Notes   dau of Richd Stephens

Dorcas & Stephen were married 30.04.1832 St Enoder
Children of Dorcas & Stephen Vinton:
Catherine 1833
Charlotte 1835
John 1837-1848
Richard 1839
Samuel 1844-1884
Edward 1846


I don’t think Dorcas had any children with Richard Bennett.
