They married in 1850, it would be a bit odd though by no means impossible for a Vicar to have a child born before his marriage....

I'd be grateful for any help regarding the Rev Benjamin B G Astley (later Ludford-Astley)'s children by his first wife, Susanna Louisa Pleydell-Bouverie, who died in 1854. Rather oddly the couple are listed twice in the 1851 census. In one entry their names, together with that of their 2 year old daughter Emma Edith, have been crossed out. They are also listed as staying with the Rev Astley's father-in-law Frederick Pleydell-Bouverie, but their child is named as 1 month old Edith. In 1861 the Rev Astley was living with his 8 year old son Francis, who may have been the 'Francis Lukeford Astley' boarding at the General Hospital in St Helier, Jersey, in 1881.

Although both their parents came from socially well-connected families I have been unable to find any more information about these three children.

Thanks!
