Hello,
Another great-great aunt conundrum...
Harriet Harris (1842 - 1924) married John Davidge (1853 - 1934) in December 1875 in Seavington St Mary, Somerset.
On the 1911 census, it states that Harriet had had 2 children, none of which were still alive. She and John were living in Yeovil, Somerset at this time.
I've searched for these children but not found anything definitive - there are no children living with them in either the 1881, 1891 or 1901 censuses. However, Harriet had an illegitimate child, Charles William (1869 - 1872), which may have been one of the 2 deceased children recorded in 1911.
I've gone through GRO to find all Davidges born in Somerset between 1875 and 1911 but can't tie in anything with a certainty that it's the child of the couple.
The other alternative is that Harriet had another illegitimate child before she married but again I haven't found anything obvious in the online burial records of Seavington St Mary between 1860 or so and 1875.
Is there another approach that I could use to identify the missing child that anyone can suggest?
Everyone's help with my previous query was great - thank you with any assistance with this one.
