Wow...that's disappointing...it really looked like a twin registration. And so she IS the one I found in Droitwich....it's going to be really difficult to find them I think. More frustrating that they are stated as born alive and still living...my pet hate has been the total/living/died as I have discovered I am missing no end of children (who died) and there's little or no way of finding them without speculating lots of dosh!

yes Frederick Pitt Died in Powick of general paralysis and brain haemorrage.
Diabetes runs in the family.

Nellie elizabeth Pitt is definatly not one of the missing two as the birth cert came this morning and has arthur and alice as parents.

Has anyone found these Pitts to eliminate as the missing child?
born Worcester. However, father was in the Army, so possibly born elsewhere. Can't find any service records for him.

Can't find on 1911 -- John Wilfred RP Pitt b Sep 1894
-- Alfred JAmes b Sep 1906

1911 - Lilian MArtha b Dec 1895 is down a niece to Thomas and Jessie Bishop, can't determine her in 1901

1911 - Edith b 1899 a pupil at Deaf and dumb School, who does she belong to?

No I looked for Nellie and couldn't find her either :-(

This could be her death...but if it is...where is she in 1911?

Deaths Sep 1929 (>99%)
Pitt Nellie E 25 Worcester 6c 117

Can someone look at this one?

I cannot see Nellie in 1911 either.

The only Pitt born 1893 to 1911 in Worcester not living with parents appears to be this one (who I cannot see in 1901, unfortunately)

This looks like her, except age is out on census:
Births Jun 1896

Deaths Sep 1917
Pitt Ida A 21 Worcester 6c 116

Added, Correction:
This is probably not a child to family as have probably found her with some parents as Ada A in 1901.

Have you got marriage and death certificates of family in case one of the 'missing' children appears on them as informant/witness (or even a will?)

IF the 1911 is to be believed and there were 4 children born and still alive, where is Nellie Elizabeth in 1911?

It certainly looks like a twin registration. I am a twin and Ihave twins. All our registration volumes and pages match with each other. So I would say yes, this is Rosalie Thurza's twin sister.

Diane

Diane Report 22 Mar 2012 19:30

Speaking to my mum she says there is a twin on her mothers side.
So i have ordered Nellie's birth cert.

Frederick's parents

Asking again - Could Rosalie Thurza be a twin?

Births Sep 1903 (>99%)

Or does same GRO reference simply mean registered on same day?

It would be good if you would post the 1911 census details to include how many years they had been married and then confirm that they have had 4 children of which two had died.

There are an awful lot of Pitts born in Worcester
