I’m have been looking for the birth records for the 12
children of William and Tryphena Green, whose marriage is registered in Abingdon RD 1875 Q3. They appear on the 1881 to 1911 censuses for Oxfordshire where all but their eldest child were born.
It appears that in 1911 all 12 children were surviving and I have found birth registration records for ten of them. However I’m at a dead end with two “problem” children.
Ismay appears on the 1901 census, her birthplace is Headington and she is aged 6 years, apparently the same age as her sister Maud (registered Headington RD 1895 Q2 vol 3A page 852). There is no Green child registered at the same time as Maud so it doesn’t appear they are twins.
I’ve tried searching as Ismay and Esme in both Oxfordshire and Berkshire in the years between her immediate siblings but cannot track her down. She is not with the family in 1911 and I can’t find her (or anyone who might be her) anywhere else either.
Florence also appears on the 1901 census with a birthplace of Headington and she is aged 8 months (so born around August 1900); she is also on the 1911, aged 10. Again, I cannot find a birth record for her.
I’d appreciate another set of brain cells having a think about where I can find these two sisters.
