Many thanks for your information. I had already found all the census forms up to 1911, but have not been able to trace the children once they had left the family home, all except Rachel who was my grandmother. I have also visited Court Farm. I also have been unable to find where my great grandparents were buried.

Margaret, you may have all the names, but nobody else does, so it doesn't really make sense to ask for help tracing the descendants of people and not give their names and ages and such. That's why others posted the census info -- because you didn't.

The names are so common in that area, probably, that likely the best outsiders can do is wish you luck. ;)

Does any of the siblings happen to be a witness to your grandmother's marriage, for instance?
