Hi

In the 1911 Census for his mother, does she indicate how many live children she bore and how many are deceased (if any)? And if she did, and if you can account for the whole number of births,  does William figure in that data as a living child?

Cheers

Hi Ambly
Thank you for your reply, Just checked the 1911 census again and his mother (age 66) by this time does not give info on how many children she had, although I do know that one child (her daughter Janet is living with her, at the time) I can also account for her other sons Robert and James. Just William I cannot account for.
