I don't know if it sold or not, as I can't find out the plot number. As for the children, I'd assumed they were all adults, but since you asked I've checked and when Ellen died in 1842 the eldest was 16 & the youngest was just 4, so when Thomas died 5 years later they ranged from 21 down to 9. Something to definitely chase up. The eldest was a girl, so presumably she was lumped with all of them. Thanks for that! Yet another puzzle to solve. Add it to the pile :)Janelle Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012439360388860496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522872009502659965.post-84313670229880584242013-09-01T08:33:38.687+10:002013-09-01T08:33:38.687+10:00Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I wonder if he just never got over the death of his wife a five years earlier. Those poor six children left behind. Do you know what happened to them?<br /><br />Welcome to GeneaBloggers!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.com
