(Same on FamilySearch.)Estimates of years of birth of the 6 children baptised in 1823 (where not seen in another source) from their order in the PR, though they may not be listed in age order. Whilst I have spaced them as much as possible between Selina and around Richard 1814 (the date his age at death suggests he was born about 1814) there may have beenone or more who died in infancy after this so in reality there could have been larger and smaller gaps.
