    • First 3 children of the marriage born pre the start of birth registration, i.e. in the years covered by the DFHS transcripts. Only these 3 with John and Patience in 1841, so it looks like if any others were born by then they had not survived infancy. Grace was the only child with them in 1851 and 1861, so there were probably no others who survived infancy.
      (The John and Mary Ann Symons, baptised in Lydford in 1848 and 1850, were the children of another John Symons and Patience, the ones who married in 1847, John being a tailor from Lewtrenchard - occupation shown on his marriage entry and the children's baptism entries)
