Thank you so much for all the time you have spent looking for me.
Sorry I just couldn't get back to reply earlier.

The children born 1818 -1827 were John's first wife Elizabeth
I'm not confident that Elizabeth Fox was his first wife for the reason 2 children were born before 1820.
Elizabeth Fox married a John in 1820 when she was 41. Died in Bolton Street (interned at St. Peters) 19.12.1830 age 51

There was a family of Holmes Henry and Mary living next door in 1841 to John, a John Dewhurst married a Betty Holmes in 1813 St John's Preston.

Thank you but I'm sure this John lived in Crown St Preston
Thank you
Ann

I wonder if there was a mistake when he called himself bachelor rather than widower? There were obviously older children born before the marriage.

Could you post the details of the 1851 census you have found please? At the moment the only Benjamin/Susannah I can find shows her birth place in Hants and too young for this Susannah.

Is this the 1841 census for reference?
