Hi Esther

Here are the dob's you wanted:

Joseph Charles Acton born 8 April 1837
Maria Acton born 4 June 1839
Fanny Jane born 20 March 1842
Eliza Acton born 30 January 1844
Caroline Acton born 13 February 1846
Thomas Henry Acton born 30 October 1848
George Acton born 13 November 1850
Edwin James Acton born 10 May 1852
David Acton born 3 September 1854
Francis Acton born 28 January 1857
Sarah Anne Acton born 15 August 1859

I visited Longhope Church last weekend to look for graves. I found one for Caroline who died 30 September 1867 aged 21 and another one with inscriptions for several Actons. Unfortunately the grave for James and Eliza seems to have disappeared! Did you visit the church recently? There was an entry in the Visitor's Book I thought might be you.

I expect you already know that Maria's first husband was Joseph Malsom who died in 1868 aged 37. They married in Longhope Church in 1858. I think they had two children. Her second husband, Benjamin Malsom was obviously some relation to her first husband?

Good luck with your searching.

Best wishes

Jan
