Find Ancestors

Does anyone know how to trace orphaned children who were 'put out by the parish'?
I have searched in vain for the two surviving children of William Dixie Stanley & his wife Susannah Thompson in Spalding Lincs. Susannah died in 1766 after giving birth to a daughter-also Susannah. William died in 1767. Their son Joseph was baptised in Spalding in 1763 & daughter Joanna was baptised in 1761. I don't know if the baby Susannah survived.
In 1788 the two children (a boy & a girl) were left an inheritance from their cousin -'if they be found'.
How on earth would children aged 6 & 4 possibly survive?
I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this.

Sorry -I mixed the DOB'S of the 2 girls- Susannah was born in 1761 & Joanna in 1766

Stanley's 1st marriage.
I'm just hoping to find out if the remaining children survived & what happened to them.

They are too early for any census

Have you tried family search site .

Marriages though at that time didn't show fathers names so it would guess work to try and match family

Maybe the ref to the mum but there's two entries
