_______________
If she married in Samford, being in Suffolk, this was to William Howlett and this gave in the 1881 census:

Howlett Jane 29 Wife White Colne, Essex

But I think this Jane, born in White Colne, Essex is a different Bartholomew family.

But in 1881 this is her, married to George Love, confirmed by the later presence of her brother Jeremiah in 1891:

In 1911 she reported that she had had 9 children of which 7 were alive with 2 dying and she been married for 37 years.
The total children shown in the censuses was:
Ellen b. c.Feb 1875
Eliza Jane b. c.Aug 1876
Albert b. Dec 1880 (3m old at ‘81 census)
Frank b. c.Feb 1883
Lily b. c.May 1885
Edith b. c.Nov 1887
Ernest b. c.May 1892
Albert, Frank, Lily, Edith and Ernest were at home in 1901.
So there are two children who never appeared in a census and were born and died between censuses. The births in Lincoln town from 1875 to 1895 were:

Their known children have markers on the right.
Can the unknown of these children be found at other homes in Lincoln censuses?
The first search, in the 1881 census shows neither of John William or Elizabeth Mansford.
The second search, for William Allen or the first Frank shows (a) no sign of William Allen and that it was the first Frank that survived in Jane’s family, so the second Frank belonged to another family, also unseen in Lincoln.
The only death recorded for a recognisable child in Lincoln city was a Frank:
Deaths Sep 1909 (>99%)
LOVE Frank 33 Lincoln 7a 256
But this looks like the elder Frank in the above births list, so is probably not Jane’s son.
So I can’t find Jane’s other two children, short of getting certificates for the above.
