Hannah, on the 1911 census, RG14 Piece 17465 (Schedule 85), claims to have had 18 children, 9 of whom were still living at the time of the census. So far I have discovered 13, but have still to confirm all the potential pre-1911 deaths:
Fanny 1858, m Thomas France 9 Feb 1880
Alfred 1859, m Isabella Bowen 1880, m Mary Richards 8 Dec 1884
Caroline 1860, m Thomas Willetts 1887
Joseph 1862, no marriage or death yet discovered
Hezekiah 1864, m Rosanna Green 1885
Septimus 1866, m Ellen Sophia Cox 1889, m Florence Bloomer 1912
Alice 1868, no marriage or death yet discovered
Selina Alice 27 Jan 1870, m Samuel Bate 1889
Benjamin 1872, no marriage or death yet discovered
John 1873, m Alice Hodgetts 1900
Nancy 1875, no marriage or death yet discovered
Leah 1877, m Benjamin Thompson 25 Dec 1897
Philip 3 April 1881 - 9 April 1882
The remaining 5 are as yet still to be discovered, but if these were still or premature births, they may never have been registered. All those I have so far discovered have GRO Birth index entries with the mother's maiden name Forrest.
On BCC, there is listed a Hannah as a daughter to Septimus and Hannah, born 1882, but I believe her to be the daughter of Caroline: 1881 J Quarter in STOURBRIDGE Volume 06C Page 158; Mother's maiden name: -
As all the other children have the mother's maiden name on the index entry, I think the fact it is missing on Hannah's entry indicates that she is not Septimus' daughter.
I think all the above is accurate, but someone else here may know otherwise
and it is still a work in progress.
