Young deaths - Cragg - Liverpool

[ju1]

On the 1911 census for
George Cragg b1851 Liverpool
Margaret Cragg b1847 Dublin

living at 4 Moss yard Lancaster

It states they had 10 children born alive but only 2 living!

on previous census it shows them to have -
Robert Cragg 1878 Liverpool
Agnes Cragg  1882 Liverpool
George Cragg 1881 Liverpool

Robert must die as they have George with them in 1911 and Agnes is alive and married with her own family.

So I am missing 7 births and deaths that all must have fallen between census years.

How do I find them?

Thanks Ju

Have you tried using the GRO index which gives mothers maiden names for the births

No, I didn't know that it was searchable, thanks, I'll have a look

Looks as if the mother's maiden name is Cross

Sorry, yes I meant to put that, it is indeed Cross.

I have Found a -
Henry 1855
Alexander 1888
George 1892
All born West Derby which fits.
I need to look for their deaths now.
Still missing 4 kids though

Not found deaths for the others though.

It is possible that, although the 1911 asks for children born alive, she may have given birth to still born children, but still (naturally) have counted that as giving birth. However, their birth and deaths would not be recorded on the GRO register.

[ju1]

Yes that's a good point, though 8 is a pretty high number.
I have still only found one potential birth and death and that is Alexander who fits and Margarets dad was called alexander too.
I can't find any more as yet.

I had a look as well and could only find the ones you have. When did they marry as that may give a starting point?
