Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 938 Send Message	Richard married Jane Preston in Preston! in 1838 this i do know, there first child was Margaret born in 1838 she died in 1842 so they should be about in the 41 census. thats what is so annoying plus the fact that they dissapear after the 61 census i havent got a death cert for richard or jane as there are far too many id be spending a fortune!
