Francis b 26 April 1834, is not seen in the 1841 census, so I think he may also have died in infancy.
I did not see a burial record for him.

After Harriett died in 1851, it looks like William married again. -----


Marriage 2 Nov 1851 St Mary, Newington, Southwark
William Biddiss, full age, widower, twine spinner, Staple Street, Father- William Biddiss twine spinner
Mary Ann Larter, full age, widow, Henry Street, Father – John Cardell deceased.
William signed. Mary ann made her mark X
Witnesses - William Cardell, Catherine Cardell.


In the 1861 census they are living in the Leather Market, Southwark
William and wife Mary both 48, and a daughter Mary age 9.

Birth for that daughter:
BIDDISS, MARY  ANN     Mother - CORDELL 
GRO Reference: 1852  D Quarter in SAINT MARY MAGDALEN BERMONDSEY SURREY  Volume 01D  Page 93

In 1871 census St James Bermondsey: William Biddiss 59 Twine spinner and wife Mary Biddiss 61 are living with Mary’s son-in-law James Fodering
(That death I posted for William in reply #7 must be incorrect)

In 1881 census Newington Surrey,  Mary Biddess age 70 is a widow

Wivenhoe, I think you are quoting from a different thread, where Carol80 had some wrong information regarding parents. If you read the thread fully, you will see that the error was corrected. I think she has moved on now. :)
