	Can't see any record of those children's deaths before 1841 in Old Swinford specifically, but of course church records tend to be patchy. Can't see them in any censuses. There are a couple of Jameses who are pupils at schools in 1841, but no way of knowing if either of them could be the James christened in 1829 or not - one born c1830 in Worcestershire, the other born c1831, but it says not born in county. One slight possibility: Deaths Dec 1840 (>99%) CORBETT James Stourbridge 18 307

	Gosh, I am in and out of this site like a fiddlers elbow today......soooo annoying! :-\| So perhaps George's first wife Mary died and he remarried Maria in 1846. There are 3 deaths in Stourbridge for a Mary Corbett between 1841 and 1846.

	Does the marriage cert give George's occupation? On the 1841 census posted........His occupation is a Sadler. He is a Sadler in 1851 too.
