Incidentally, I think that the Harriet who died aged 6 in 1840 is the Hannah who was baptised in October 1833. If she was baptised shortly after birth then the age would be correct as she wouldn't be 7 until August/September.
Hannah's baptism in 1833 is image 286 on FindMyPast.

Thank you pamthomas, I was inclined to think that myself but there was a reason I dismissed it (can't quite remember at the moment but I will tell you when I remember). Having you also suggest that has made me wonder again if this is indeed the case.

I have been going through my notes and I have a death date of 22nd July 1840 next to Harriet's name perhaps if Kathy would be kind enough to look at that date when she is next at the Grantham library we could solve the Harriet/Hannah mystery. Also on Sarah Ann's notice that Kathy provided,  it says "being the fourth of his children to die in 7 months" a July death would fit in. I do not have a subscription to FindMyPast but as you suggested I will continue to try  ;D

O.K. I have had a look at my notes and have my reasoning behind there being a Hannah and a Harriet.

Their mother's death certificate states 4 females deceased (Sarah Ann, Harriet, Charity & Hannah)
Through this thread we have confirmed Sarah Ann and Charity (still can't get that link to work for Harriet)
Their mother's death certificate states 1 male deceased (Charles)
Through this thread we have confirmed Charles

All other children were alive and accounted for when their mother died. I have a note from a family member that says that the 1833 Hannah may have died in 1834.

So in summary to my original post this is what I have;

Sarah Ann Christened 19th May 1825 died 19th December 1840 but where is she buried
Charles Christened 13th November 1829 died 6th May but where is he buried
Harriet maybe born 1833 maybe died 22nd July 1840 and where is she buried
Charity Christened 8th November 1837 died 11th May 1840 but where is she buried
Hannah Christened 1st October 1833 maybe died 1834 and where is she buried

Confirmation of Hannah and/or Harriet are obviously key as then there is the question of the 2 year old Hannah on the 1841 census that did not leave for Australia with the rest of the family in 1849 and that would be 5 deceased females

P.S. I am still trying to get onto lincsonline, haven't given up yet.  ;D

Hi Geoff,

I have checked FreeReg hoping it would give me dates of births+deaths of Harriet  and Hannah from 1831-1849.(If found that would be a great help looking in Stamford Mercury paper).The only one I could see was Hannah's baptism 1 Oct 1833 which has already been found.The others are very elusive.

Hi Kathy :) - the burials of most (if not all) of the RICHARDS kids can be found on FreeREG - the ones in 1840 certainly show up. :)  I only looked in 1840 which seems to show they were buried Stamford (All Saints).
