  • The 1861 Census also shows that William Osborne had a son John age 3 whose birth was registered in the first quarter of 1858 (above). However, initially there was some doubt as to whether John's mother was William's first wife Elizabeth or his second wife Ellen who appears for the first time in the 1861 Census. A search for William's second marriage produced a registration in the second quarter of 1860. Elizabeth's death registration is in the last quarter of 1858 and it is thought probable that she died in childbirth in December 1857 but that the birth registration for her son John was delayed until January 1858.
