Missing Richards' Children, Portsea.

[suzanne2812]

Hi

I think I am looking for some missing children of Edwin Richards & Fanny Haile. They married in Portsea in 1807, yet the children I have for them are all born after 1821. I have a feeling there are quite a few. Can anyone have a look for me please?

Thanks in advance.

Suzanne.

I cannot see this marriage.
I do see one for James RICHARDS and Fanny HAILE.  Is that the one you mean?

Children I see, all bapt Portsea St Mary, 


Frances Elizth.  17 Jul 1808
James John 10 Mar 1811
Mary Ann 23 May 1813.       Vollens Row, ropemaker   Could be Voller
Sarah Ann 12 Dec 1815.       Ditto
Matilda 25 Jan 1820.              Ditto
Caroline 11 Aug 1822.  Wallis Street, ropemaker

Then Edwin in 1825.   I see none in 1821

There also appears to be William Henry 31 Aug 1828.

For a marriage taking place in 1807, I would not expect to see children being born much after 1827/28.

Added: The address is Voller Row - seen it many times, especially for dockyard workers.

I didn’t bother with the ones after 1822 as OP said she had already found them, but there is also

Amelia Adelaide 17 Jul 1831. Voller street, Ropemaker

Hi All

Thank you for that. I did track two down last night. The Richards family were all rope makers until my great grandad, who turned his hand to carting.

Kind Regards Suzanne.
