Good find, RF, as we had the census all on BCC, but hadn't added in the kids.
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=bcconnections&view=0&pid=21069&rand=695818547Mostly done ... except on the 1851 there are those two young "sons", John aged 6 months, & Joseph aged 2 years:

It looks like John is a grandson to Parthena on the 1861 and 1871, and surely not two sons named 'Joseph'?
So, to whom do they belong?
