There is one child noted: Elizabeth born 29th June 1795, meaning George would have still been only fourteen when she was conceived. That Elizabeth is indeed George and Jane's daughter is supported by Elizabeth's baptism 8 May 1814, at the age of 18, stating that her father is George Orchard, and mother Jane deceased. Also on that day is the baptism of John George Ellen (( {{wiki:orcharandellenbpt1814.jpg}} )), the son of James and Mary Ellen, with Elizabeth Orchard having the same address of 49 St Mary Axe (to offer some insight into the present day location: 30 St Mary Axe is where 'The Gherkin' stands).
