Hi Carolyn I have a brief mention of some of this family in my Tetburyfamilies database 1. SARAH [BIGNELL] was born 1806 in GLS. More About SARAH [BIGNELL]: Census: 1841, 35; Fox Hill, Tetbury, GLS Children of SARAH [BIGNELL] are: i. MARIA BIGNELL, b. 1834, GLS. More About MARIA BIGNELL: Census: 1841, 7; Fox Hill, Tetbury, GLS ii. WILLIAM BIGNELL, b. 1836, GLS; d. 1853, Tetbury, GLS (Source: 17yrs.). More About WILLIAM BIGNELL: Burial: 11 December 1853, St Marys, Tetbury, GLS Census: 1841, 5; Fox Hill, Tetbury, GLS iii. JOHN BIGNELL, b. 1840, GLS. More About JOHN BIGNELL: Census: 1841, 1; Fox Hill, Tetbury, GLS It would appear that Henry may have died prior to Sarah moving to Fox Hill, Tetbury. Does that seem to tie in with what you have already found? There seems to be no more mention within the following census year of 1851.
