William Roberts and Margaret Colebourne - missing children before 1911
« on: Saturday 01 February 20 20:16 GMT (UK) »
William and Margaret married on 29 September 1895 at St Matthew, Toxteth Park.  He was a labourer and seems to be Liverpool born, as was Margaret

In 1911 they were living at 40 Byles Street, Toxteth with 4 living children - Elizabeth aged 14, Margaret aged 12, William Alfred aged 4 and Annie aged 1.   

(Registration District Number 454, ED 11 and piece 22262)

They also record 10 deceased children and so far I have found (of the 14 and mainly from the GRO index):

Florence, b.c. 1896
Elizabeth, b.c. 1897
William Alfred, b.c. 1898 (died 1899)
James, b.c. 1899
Margaret, b.c. 1900
May, b.c. 1904
Agnes, b.c 1905
William Alfred, b.c. 1907
Charlotte May, b.c. 1908 (died 1909)
Annie, b.c 1909

So that is 10 of 14 recorded children and I can't find the other 4.  They did have more children after 1911 but its these first 14 that I'd like to decipher as apart from the first William Alfred and Charlotte May I can't find the deaths of the kids not recorded in 1911.

Help.... ;D

Thank you

If you show which districts  and quarters the known births and deaths occurred in, itll save us a lot of repeated effort.

I find the same as you but there are some possible deaths. Perhaps the others were stillbirths or miscarriages but recorded as live births on the census.

Florence b 1896 d 1896
Elizabeth 1897 in 1901, 1911  census
William Alfred b 1898 d 1899
James 1899 d 1899
Margaret 1900 in 1901, 1911 census
May b 1904 (2 possible deaths)
Agnes b 1905 d 1906
William Alfred b 1907 in 1911
Charlotte May b 1908 d 1909
Annie b 1909 in 1911
