Yes - Albert died in the same quarter as his birth.

I found it rather odd that they then waited 4 yrs to have another baby.

It's also frustrating me that I can't find a marriage entry as I would like to confirm that Minnie is the daughter of Thomas Henry Fowler and Ada Shillito. And the only way to confirm her family details is to get hold of her marriage cert etc.

I have found, with help from Richochet, a lot on info on the 1891 census regarding the family to enable me to trace backwards - but I don't want to waste time doing that if they aren't actually her family!

sorry that's my typo that's confusing things!

On the 1901 census she is Minnie Fowler aged 3.

My grandad's birth cert gives his parents as John and Minnie Read (nee Fowler)

I can't find marriage for them tho.

Richochet - what do you mean by FULL index? I have full subsription on here and am also looking at FreeBDM.

Cross-refer with thread about Ada Shillito........................

Minnie would have been only 14/15 in 1913

If she was nee Fowler, she wouldn't be Minnie Read aged 3 on the census - have you tried looking for Minnie Fowler?

I've found one born March 1898 in Barnsley and on the 1901 census so presume this is the one you've mentioned for Minnie Read. There are transcripton errors as her older brother is 4 not 41!

Found a Minnie A Folwer marrying a Henry T Read in Paddington, Greater London in Q2 1913

I have just acquired a birth certificate for my grandfather John Read, born 2nd July 1929 in the district of Barnsley. (Wombwell)

His parents are John Read and Minnie (previously Fowler).

I can find a Minnie Read on the 1901 census in Wombwell aged 3 (born Q1 1898).

I cannot find a marriage record for a Minnie Fowler and a John Read. Can anyone help me with this?
