Esther Whitehead
(1783-1815)

Esther Whitehead's (later Esther Moden) was seemingly the oldest of the five children of John Whitehead and his wife Susannah of Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, England.

Esther married labourer William Moden in 1804 and the couple remained in her native Haddenham, and became parents at least six times until Esther died in 1815, aged 32. Their youngest child, Robert, was only about 2 years old.

With this young family all under the age of 10 years old, William eventually re-married to Esther's brother's (John Whitehead) widow, Elizabeth Whitehead, formerly Elizabeth Howard.

The new couple bore their first child in 1832 - a daughter - who they named Esther.
