Just need to let off a bit of steam.
In the 1911 census Charles and Ethel Cox are in Watford, married for 3 years and say they have had 2 children with 1 dying. Their son Charles H was registered in Wandsworth, AMJ 1910 and they married 8/09/1907 at St Pauls, Crewe, Chester.
How on earth can I find the birth of their unknown deceased child when they have moved around so much.
Aaaaagh!!!
Rant over.

It is frustrating isn't it! I have the same problem with my White family. Two dead but I knew about the name of one but the other I have never found because I don't know whether the child was male or female nor do I know the name.
You could look at the deaths for children with ages from 0 to about 2/3 in Chester and Wandsworth.
Maybe you could find a baptism for any Cox child with parents Charles and Ethel.

The trouble is that if they really did move 'so much' (how many do you know of?), Cox is not a particularly rare surname; you may always have doubts about finding the correct one .... :(
The Crewe wedding may just indicate where the bride came from. Maybe they met on the station - or on a train. :)
