1911 census married 36 years  12 children 9 living 3 deceased.

Mary Ann 1875 died 1875 Wolverhampton
Henry 1876
Joseph 1878
Louisa 1881 reg Dudley
Pamela 1882  reg. Dudley
John Thomas 1884 reg. Wolverhampton
Rebecca 1886
Susanna 1890 - died 1891
Mary Ann 1892
Richard 1894
Rachel 1896
Ester 1898

This is 12 children however I have only found the deaths of 2 children before 1911 (so far)

It could be Ester as she is on the 1901 census but not 1911.

Thanks guys. I found where the family were living. Pretty sure Richard must have died in the WW1 he doesnt appear on the 1921 census but Sussanah does age 64. Cant see a death for Sussanah unless its the one from Rushall

Thinking about it Richard of course was too old to be fighting in WW1

Richard and Sarah were living in Coseley, Dudley in 1911 so this looks like Richard's Death

Richard Ellis Sep 1918 Dudley 6b 978 age 62 (yob c1856)

Susanna was still in Coseley in 1939. This looks like her death

Susanna Ellis Sep 1946 Rowley Regis 9b 267 aged 89 (yob c1857)

Coseley was in the Dudley registration district until 1935 when it became under the Rowley Regis district
