Children of Herbert Timms & Harriet Betts-Long Crendon

[jenn270]

Is anyone working on this family? I have info for 10 children and wonder if there were more? The eldest one I have is Gertrude, b. 1886 and the youngest Lilian, b. 1903.
Thanks!

It seems unlikely there were more children - by 1911 they had 10 children -all still living - Lilian the youngest - and as Harriet was in her late 40's (48) it seems doubtful any more children were born after 1911

Thanks for looking! No, I wasn't thinking of more children having been born after Lilian but wondered if I had missed any before that. Someone had included a "Rose" with no date of birth but I see no birth or death records for her.

Hi

"Rose" could be "Rosalind" ?

It could but her list shows both a Rose and a Rosalind. I've tried to contact the one who posted it but have had no success. Thanks for checking!

There is no "Rose" with the family on any census - there is a "Rosalind" -possibly this is her birth reg ?
Rosalind Marion Timms Jun qtr 1901 Thame - and there is a marriage to Richard George Cooke Dec qtr 1920 Hampstead

Herbert & Harriet state they had 10 children -all living in a later census
I haven't looked for birth reg's of the children but from census it seems there was Gertrude, William, Ralph, Jessie, Reginald, Frederick Hounslow, May, Kathleen, Rosalind, Lilian

As you have found there are no birth or death recods for "Rose" during Harriet's childbearing years.

Maybe the tree you looked at isn't well sourced?

I suspect that Ray was on the right track by suggesting Rose could be Rosalind it's quite logical to expect Rosalind to be shortened to Rose (or Rosa) for everyday use, the fact there are no birth or baptism dates and no Census sightings for a Rose make that supposition even more likely.

Regards.
