Births Sep 1903
Pitt Rosalie Thurza Worcester 6c 278

When it comes to names, spelling does count.

I'm confused, but ...

You thought your grandparents had two children:

Daisy Christina Pitt (Born worcester 1893
Rosal thurzai Pitt (born worcester 1903

("Rosal"? really?)

But the 1911 census shows they had a total of four children.

(I can't find Daisy Christina or Rosal Thurzai on the 1911.)

Is this because they had two children who died in infancy? The 1911 gives the total number of children born to a couple, including any not still living, I believe.

You would have to try to find Pitt births after your grandparents' marriage that match up with deaths pre-1911 to see whether that is the case.

I thought i had all my grandparents children. until i opened the 1911 census.
Frederick (Shadrack) Pitt. and Ann Edwards. my grandparents.
Had two children.
Daisy Christina Pitt (Born worcester 1893
Rosal thurzai Pitt (born worcester 1903
But in the 1911 it shows it they had four children in total.
How do i find the missing two?
