Apologies I should have rechecked when I was at home and had access to Ancestry

My only other thought is a possible death from FreeBMD which is in the right area

I couldn't find them in 1841 but the wife of John would appear to be Sarah, unless he remarried

I didn't see the deleted posts either.

Yes this is the family, I cannot find them on the 1841 census, I was hoping to find the wife of John.

Alice

Apologies for butting in but should we have explained to Terri the age rounding down procedure with the 1841 census.

This may have happened with John, Mary,and sons John and Verdon.

Best wishes
