Title: Two Missing Davies Births between 1896-1911. Ashton Under Lyne/Oldham
Post by: Mamsoth on Saturday 06 January 18 19:14 GMT (UK)

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me find 2 missing children. Born to Samuel William Davies and Esther Sanderson (Married Feb 1896. Ashton Under Lyne). I know of their existence due to the number of children listed in the 1911 census as 8 (7 alive by 1911, 1 dead). I have found the following 6...

John Henry Davies Jan-March 1898. Ashton Under Lyne.
Horatio Davies 9th May 1900. Ashton Under Lyne.
Samuel William Davies (Jr) 23rd March 1902. Ashton Under Lyne.
Susie Davies Jul-Sep 1907. Ashton Under Lyne.
Charlotte Davies Jul-Sep 1909. Oldham
Jane Alice Davies Jan-Mar 1911. Oldham

As you can see, there is a nice juicy gap between Samuel W Jr in 1902 and Susie in 1907. I've had a search but there are too many entries and I'm unsure how I can narrow it down anymore. As most of you will know, mothers maiden names only started being included by 1911.

Can anyone help or is this a lost cause?

Thanks very much

The GRO birth index now includes the mother's maiden name from the start of registration in 1837.

Thanks very much for the help
