West country Hollands

[matilda1973]

Hi. I'm trying to sort out what happened to my Holland family james Holland and Angelina/caroline Orchard had 11 children that ican find.from 1896 to 1915. In the 1911 cencus that stated they had 10 children 8 living 2 deceased so I think I am missing at least 1 child. They traveled around the Somerset Devon area .  I'd like to try and find out who they married what happened to them all. 
Betsy 1896
Rachel 1898 (not on 1911 census)
Henry 1899
Britannia 1900-1921
Thomas 1902 (husbands grandfather)
James 1904
joseph 1907
John 1908
 William 1910
Edward 1914
Micheal 1915.
Any help filling in the gaps would be fab

A number of articles in the Devon newspapers. An item in the Exeter & Plymouth Gazette, 1 Nov 1935, mentions 4 of the brothers, a "relative Fred", an "Uncle (Edwin)" and a "Daisy, prisoner's wife" (ie. Edward).

As most of them were born before 1912  they dont have mother maiden name to search. I do have birth certs or baptism records for most of them. It's what happened next I'd like to find out

Please see my first reply.  Maiden names are available for births pre- 1912 on the GRO link I gave

[matilda1973]

No births registered before thomas in 1902.

If they were travellers, that may account for missing birth registrations

You say you want to find out who the 11 known children married etc.  As explained in my earlier reply you would need to use freebmd to look for marriages.

You could also check the 1939 register for the 8 male children to check spouse names etc
