Thank you so much for infomation about Richard.
The 1911 census makes sense now. The census said they had 7 children born alive and only 5 living. I could only find 6 children, and I knew Florence had died. Thank you for that information.

How do you find all these deaths? where can I research them?

Sorry it took ages to get back to you, worked nights over the weekend. And thank you for going to cemetery for me.

Right,
I have looked at the 1911 census for Herbert Gardner which shows him with 4 children. It states he had 7 children and only 5 living.
I believe he had:-
1. Florence Elizabeth 1894-1909
2. Percy George T 1896
3. Herbert Frederick J 1899
4. William 1900-1981 (my gt grandfather)
5. Olive 1904
6. Stanley 1905-1975
And 7 Richard Sidney Gardner that Sandy has just found.

I then looked at the 1911 census for Laura Gardner who is living with George Dawson and it states that she has 10 children, and 8 living.

So there are the 7 children she had with Herbert (above) and two of them sadly had died by 1911.
I believe another child is George Charles Dawson Gardner (who she had with George Dawson).
and Elsie Rebecca Nightingale born 1891 who she had before marrying Herbert.
But who is the other child??? Cant be with Herbert as numbers dont add up!

Interesting!!!!

Hi again.

I think some of the info is not quite right.

Laura had

1. Elsie Nightingale (before marriage) 1891. Is this Herbert's child also.?
2. Florence Elizabeth 1894-1909.
3, Percy George T could be the one who dies in WW1 1896.
4. Herbert Frederick J (aka Frederick) 1899.
5. William 1900.
6. Sarah Olive 1903.
7. Richard Stanley 1904-1906.
8. Stanley Albert 1906.
9. George 1911.

There is a Betsy H M who is born in 1907 and dies in the N.G.H 1911.?

You can look at the Burial records at the Northampton Record Office, Lisa.

Hi,
It's not Betsy, found a christening for her, which lists her parents. Not Laura.
I believe the child to still be alive in 1911.

Thanks

Glad that you can discount Betsy.

I do not think there are more than 2 births and we have worked
those out Lisa.

I also now know Percy died and his brother Frederick also
served but survived.

Hi Lisa.

My friend Kay has done a tree for you of the Kirton/Nightingale family.

Also photocopies of the 3 pictures.

I gave her a card as a "Thank You" as I greatly appreciated her
time and effort and I will bring them down to the hospital next week
hopefully same ward as you were on before.

Sandy,

That is absolutely fantastic. Really appreciate her doing that for me and for you sending a card on my behalf.

Yes I am on the same ward. Unfortunately, I wont see you as currently working nights at the moment.

Thank you both soooo much.
