Hi Donna. Could you be so kind to check the second MI again please? On May 16/06 11:41PM you posted a slightly different version of this MI. In the newest one, we've added a new Esther but lost Robert. We know already that there's some problems with the MI because the first Esther Jane was buried 22 Jul 1840 at 19 months, which matches her baptism but sure doesn't match the MI. Robert's death date on the version below is good but the age on burial was 2 years 6 months, which matches his baptism. There were a couple of other child deaths that didn't make the MI at all, but they were more like infants.
Jean's thought is that this MI was created by one of their adult children much later, and he/she got the facts a bit muddled.
Here's what was posted 2+ years ago in answer to a query by Averill, and which she reposted recently for this same discussion on Jane Fell. Incidentally, the date at the very end should be 1883, not 1863, which must have been a transcription mistake as it's hard to be a relict if you die before your husband (and the burial index date says 1883).
