A Gravestone Reads: "Sacred to the memory of Henrietta Jeans the beloved wife of Christopher Jeans who died Dec. 24th 1879 aged 67 years. Also of Albert, Charles, Louisa, Thomas, Morey children of the above who died in their infancy. Also of Christopher Husband of the above Henrietta who died August 27th 1895 aged 87 years"

The family was living at High St., Stalbridge, Dorset (1851). Interestingly, they were living next door to some other relatives of mine, John Duffett & family.

In the 1871 census the family are recorded at Ring St., Stalbridge, Dorset. A few doors away was living a Cousin, George Jeans. A 'Morey' family was also living next door.
