1911 Census Alfred Edwards

[carol8353]

You need to check each of the previous censuses and list those who are still with mum and dad and search for those who aren't (who could have died)
Use FreeBMD /Yorkshire BMD to eliminate anyone with the same surname who were born and died between censuses.

Or you could try and get the parish records sent to your local Mormon search rooms to see if you can find their baptisms and burials there.

Maybe you have filled in something that you didn't mean to when searching, but since two three of us are telling you that we each are getting several good candidates from the list, then you need to look again at your search terms.

For info 1891 census has Agnes, Oliver, Sarah.

1901 census has Agnes, Oliver, Sarah, Thomas, Alfred, Mark, Charles, William.

Next census has Sarah, Thomas, Alfred, Mark, Charles, William, Joseph, Lucy.

I have looked at the 1891 census and later an there are only 10 children showing as per
Candidiasia's list.
A four year gap between Agnes and Oliver, same between Alfred and mark

One possibility born in East Sculcoates subdistrict between Agnes (1882) and Oliver (1886) is Monica in 1884 (GRO Jun qtr 1884 Sculcoates).

She died in Jun qtr 1887 aged 3.

[avm228]

Then between Alfred (1893 East Sculcoates) and Mark (1897 East Sculcoates) there are possible twins who appear to have died in infancy:

Births Mar qtr 1895

John EDWARDS Sculcoates 9d 214
Hilda M EDWARDS Sculcoates 9d 215

(both born in East Sculcoates subdistrict)


Death Mar qtr 1895

Hilda Mary EDWARDS aged 0, Sculcoates*

Death Sep qtr 1895

John EDWARDS aged 0, Sculcoates

(both died in East Sculcoates subdistrict)

*If these children belonged to the right family, and Hilda's life was very short indeed, that might account for the family's confusion in 1911 as to whether they had had 12 or 13 live-born children.

[PaulineJ]

I don't think they are twins as they are separated by several entries according to Yorksbmd.
EAS/35/283
EAS/35/151

[avm228]

I didn't think that was how YorkshireBMD references worked

Thank you everyone.
