Thanks Tracy - that confirms Jesse as the eldest. Now I just have to find out who Frances is!

I would be really pleased if you could find Jesse and Frances family in 1851 although you've already managed to find more than I have!

Oh! I guess the others are all married - even Jane at 19! Oh well.

Looks Like Stephen and Jane were on their own in 1851.

Oh - thanks! I didn't recognise it before as Westminster. That would fit I suppose - they are from Clerkenwell and Shoreditch.

There are two Frances, one is also a Potts - would that be her maiden name? or could Jesse have married a brothers widow? or perhaps a cousin? I would really like to see what I can find on Stephen and Janes other children in 1851.

Strange...can't seem to find anything in the 1851 census.
