Five children are included, Thomas 17, Maria 13, Robert 7, Mary Ann 3 and Eliza 4m. Additionally two children were already deceased by 1828 and there were two more births after that date, Charles in 1829 and Sophia in 1832.
Ann was tried for the theft of two Sheets. Worcester Journal Thursday 13th April 1809 page 3: "At our General Quarter Sessions, which concluded this day, Ann Walford, for stealing a apir of sheets, the property of Samuel Pitt, of Persax, was sentenced to 7 years transportation."
