Margaret Rolls 1795 d/o John and Betsey married William Pawson 1816, he died in 3 years.
After Roberts death she married Joseph Simpson 1835.

OK so Margaret's story is not pertinent, just interesting. Cant find her in 1851 census, probably bumped off simpson and re-married
What happened to the children? Robert, Margaret and Mary and who is the Eliza?
