Hi to all
I need some help tracing one of JAMES EDWARD FAIRHEADS children. From the 1911 census you will find that he and his wife ELIZA HARPER had 4 children 3 alive and 1 died before the 1911 census. I have the following children ARNOLD MAJOR FAIRHEAD born Oct - Dec 1879 in Weybread Suffolk. GEORGE EDWARD FAIRHEAD born 6 April 1882 in Wortwell Suffolk. and BEATRICE LOUISA FAIRHEAD born 13 May 1887 in Wangford Suffolk. The unknown FAIRHEAD does not appear on any census records so I suspect that the unknown fairhead died as a infant or a child.
If anyone has any info on the unknown Fairhead or the birth / baptism of ARNOLD MAJOR FAIRHEAD it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for reading this
Steve :)

"ARNOLD MAJOR FAIRHEAD born Oct - Dec 1887" but "BEATRICE LOUISA FAIRHEAD born 13 May 1887"

Is 1873 too early ??...when did James and Eliza marry ...that will narrow a search down

1881 census....no Mary Ann Alice Fairhead
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XQS6-WLM
let me see if I can find her in 1881 census to rule her out

OK...Forget Mary Ann Alice Fairhead ...there are TWO James and Eliza Fairhead having children in Norfolk at the same time - so take caution

James Edward Fairhead married Eliza Harper Jun Qtr 1877 Hoxne Suffolk Vol 4a Page 801

Hi to all
Thanks for all your efforts
The James Edward Fairhead and Eliza Harper are from the Norfolk / Suffolk boarder area (Jame's father is William Edward Fairhead) they married in Q2 1887.
The other pairing of James and Eliza Fairhead are from the reg. district of Smallburgh (north of Norwich). Mary Ann Fairhead born 1873 is their daughter.
I also believe that the male fairhead that was born and died in 1880 in the district of smallburgh is more than likely the son of James and Eliza of smallburgh due to location. (posted kindly by ChrissieL ).
Still hunting

This maybe the missing child of James Edward Fairhead and Eliza Harper from the 1911 census but i am wondering if anyone can look up the baptism and burial to shed more light on it or i may have to get a birth / death cert. The person i am looking at is:- Charles Edward Fairhead Born Q1 1878 in Hoxne District and Died Q3 1880 in Hoxne district. I suspect that he will be found in the Weybread parish or Mendham parish.
I suspect that he maybe the person as his sister Beatrice has a son when she was unmarried and she called him Charles Edward Fairhead (my grandfather).
Also has anybody got an actual marriage date for James Edward fairhead and Eliza Harper married in Hoxne in Q2 1877. again i think this is in either Weybread or Mendham parishes.
many thanks
