In 1871 at 17 she was a Domestic servant on a farm of 250 acres in Harleston, Suffolk.

She could have married any of these, I have no idea which:

_______________

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

Surname  Forename  Age  Relation  Occupation  Birth Place  

Howlett William 28 Head General Labourer Brantham, -
Howlett Jane 29 Wife White Colne, Essex
Howlett John W 7 M Son Brantham, -

Address: Cattawade Street
Parish: Brantham
Registration District: Samford

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 1891 she had 3 more children and 1, Ellen, had disappearred from the house; additionally her brother Jeremiah with her:

In 1901 she had a final child and one more, Eliza, had disappeared:

_________________

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:

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol  Page
Births Mar 1875   (>99%)
Love Ellen Lincoln 7a 492              <---
Births Sep 1876   (>99%)

LOVE William Allen    Lincoln 7a 540

LOVE Frank    Lincoln 7a 546              ????

Love Lily    Lincoln 7a 515              <---
Births Dec 1885   (>99%)
Love Frank    Lincoln 7a 533              <---
Births Dec 1887   (>99%)
Love Edith    Lincoln 7a 529              <---
Births Jun 1890   (>99%)
Love James    Lincoln 7a 513              <---
Births Jun 1892   (>99%)
Love Ernest    Lincoln 7a 548              <---

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.
