I have just had a bombshell dropped on me by a member of my family. My gt grandmother Jane Simpson (nee Finney) from Burslem, later Oldham, who gave birth to 2 girls, my grandmother (1891)and great aunt(1900) lost 6 boys. Apparently they survived the birth but all died under a year old. |

If you search deaths on Staffordshire BMD it will give the age and if you know which area you may find some but I think baptism or Burial registers would be the best thing. |

Do you know when they married? Or his name? Could this be them? |

Hi do you have the family on 1901 census? an educated guess-there is a large gap between your grandmother and great aunt-where there any other surviving children-if not I would have thought several of them would have been between the dates of their births-also as suggested the baptism register would really help you if you can get hold of it-or maybe burials if you can get details of them. Do you know when the parents of these children married? |

street address in 1901 is 5 Grant Street, it might be worth looking on www.streetmap.co.uk to see if the street is still there and then try to find out which the nearest churches were, you may then be able to look up baptism and burial records |

Dora was registered Wolstanton but there are a lot of deaths under 1 year in the name Simpson between 1891- 1900 so Burials would certanly be the best way. |

thank you all for your help. I will certainly try to find the church and take it from there. |

I presume your rellie's info came from the 1911 census. |

Hi mgnv, 1911 census info ....11 Church Terrace Wolstanton..Dora 11, Jane and William 50. My grandmother Alice was married by then and living in Oldham. |

Wasn't going to say this as I found it distressing, but the info I had today...was one of the children died on my grandmothers knee, so guessing she was young at the time. Alice was born 1891, so this child must have been born around 1898-1900 as not on the 1901 census. |

The 1911 census image will tell you how many children they had and how many still living. Family are not always reliable for information. |

Hi Quinsgran, in 1911 there was only my gt aunt Dora, living with parents, so no more children then. |

Maggie - what Quinsgran means is that the full image of the 1911 census asks how many kids they've ever had. |
