    • GRO ref: PARSONS, Henry James to FORD, Elizabeth Jane q1 1882 Plymouth RD 5b 467

      The 1911 census shows that Henry and Elizabeth had been married 29 years, had had 14 children but sadly only 5 were still living. (Four were with them, Lily must have been the 5th). One who had died was living for one census (Arthur). Looking in the GRO online index enabled the identification of 4 others, but it appears there had been 4 more children, not found.
