You have all been so helpful on this family I am still really unsure ?

Sidami.

It appears that your Charles (that married Elizabeth Marshall) was not the son of Esther and Charles.

Charles, the son of Esther and Charles, likely died in 1842.

Sidami Report 6 Oct 2017 18:20

Thankyou all so much I believe now that the Charles that died in 1842 was Esther and Charles son as they lived Leicester street I have digested this all, you have all been so helpful I believe now that Charles was in the workhouse on 1841 with his unmarried mum and possibly Rueben his brother but then on igi they both have different mothers? Isn't family history fun don't think I will be able to get back on this line I think if the archives gave info from 1841 that may help me.

No, the death I posted can't be the boys' mother, unless the age is wrong. She would only have been 6 when Reuben was born!

Grasping at straws - perhaps the age on the death record is wrong - maybe should be 30, not 20.
The boys' mother presumably did die before the 1851 census date - unless she couldn't cope, and handed them over to Samuel and his wife.
