Family 3 Arthur LAVERS, b. Abt 1778, Harberton, Devon, England , d. Mar Q 1856, Kingsbridge Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 78 years) Married Jun Q 1846 Kingsbridge Reg Dist, Devon, England - GRO ref: Lavers, Arthur to Taylor, Ann q2 1846 Kingsbridge RD 9 471
(I thought there were likely to be other children between 1848 and 1856, but checking for a mother's maiden name of Bellett and similar sounding, and also Bennett and similar sounding, on the GRO online index I found no others, and also no others in the index to baptisms in Dodbrooke on the South Hams website)
Whether any of Ann's children born after the death of her first husband and before she married Arthur were his I don't know. At the time of the 1841 census, about five years before the marriage, Ann and Arthur were enumerated in consecutive entries, so were probably next door neigbours or otherwise living very close to each other, so must surely have known each other.
