I'm trying to locate what happened to John & Henry Raybould after then 1851 census. On this census, they are with their parents Samuel & Hannah Raybould in Brockmoor, Kingswinford, Staffs. John is aged 2 with a birthplace of Cradley and Henry is aged 9 months and born I think says Kingswinford.

Their older siblings on this census, Tabitha & Mary, I have found baptisms for at Brierley Hill but John & Henry were not baptised there. By the 1861 census, Samuel & Hannah and their children had moved to Tunstall, Staffs. Tabitha & Mary and younger siblings are all there but not Henry or John.

I would assume both have died but I can't locate likely deaths or burials for either of them. Can anyone else see anything that i've missed?

There's a possible death for John in 1860 in the Stourbridge RD, which includes Kingswinford, but the index doesn't give the age:

Deaths Mar 1860
Rayboard John Stourbridge 6c 90
Raybold John Stourbridge 6c 90

Hi Mary,

Looking at the family again, they are in Tunstall, Staffs by 1856 as they had a daughter there. Their last known child in Brockmoor and the Kingswinford area is Isaiah who was born in 1853.

Many thanks for looking :)

I had a look at Staffs and West Midlands BMD sites in case they showed anything not on FreeBMD, but didn't see anything useful.

Yes, I checked them too. I even checked the Canadian home children site, but they aren't there either.
