Isaac and Phoebe had the following children:

• Elizabeth Bartram c.5 Sept 1819, Wymondham
• John Bartram, b.~1821, c. 22 Feb 1824, Wymondham (only Isaac listed as a parent)
• Hannah Bartram, b.~1822, c.5 Apr 1822, Wymondham
• William Bartram, c.22 Feb 1824, Wymondham.
• David Bartram, b.25 July 1825, c.30 Apr 1834, Primitive Methodist, Lakenham, c.5 Sept 1834, Wymondham

• Edward Bartram, b.3 Aug 1833, c.30 Apr 1834 Primitive Methodist, Lakenham, c.5 Sept 1834, Wymondham.

Interestingly many of their children were baptized twice, once at the Lakenham Chapel (Primitive Methodists) and once at Wymondham. Some of the dates don't quite match with the later census, either the ages were calculated wrongly (highly possible) or some of their children died and the names were reused.

On the 6th January 1836 an Isaac Bartram was tried for "Larceny before convicted of Felony" at the County Sessions in Norwich. His age was given as 37, which would put his date of birth around 1799. Luckily for the family he was found "Not Guilty"!

  Isaac Bartram: aged 37, Committed, December 28, 1835, by the Hon. and Rev. William Wodehouse, 
  charged on the oath of James Neave, of Wymondham, yeoman, and another, with having, 
  on Monday the 21st of this month, stolen a quantity of hay, the property of Thomas Bayley, Esq

Although it looks like he had been convicted of an earlier charge:

  Isaac Bartram, aged 27, Committed December 27, 1825, by J. Postle, Esq. and Rev. G. Preston, Clk. 
  charged on the oth of Samuel Blyth, of Wymondham, on suspicioun of having stolen, about 12 months ago, a mattock and a marl pick, his property. (1 week H £)

On the night of 6 June 1841 he was living with his family at Mill Street in the Hamlet of Lakenham, Norwich, next door to his daughter Elizabeth who had married John Smith

On the night of 30 March 1851 he and his wife Phoebe Bartram nee Gay were living at No. 6, Trafalgar Street, Lakenham, Norwich.
