I am trying to find what happened to 3 children of Clara Bull (Nee Smith).

Clara Smith c 1866, Speen, Berkshire, married James Frederick Bull ,1867, Bloomsbury, London.

They had 3 children - James Frederick, 1894, Ilsley, Berks, Edith Susan, 1897 & Francis George, 1897, both born Pewsey, Wilts.

James (Snr) d 1900 and Clara d1901, leaving 3 orphaned children.

Clara is sister to my great grandfather.

I cannot find them 1901 onwards ...!!

Can anyone please help??

(although not jumping out 1939, or a Marriage, and must be orf' now, will look in later!)

Think Francis was born in 1896 - helps in identification:

Wondered about this for Francis in 1901- meaning all children in Lambeth 1901:

On Ancestry there appears to be another child registered-

The registry of birth has her DOB as 16 March 1893 Compton. Record also includes a copy of parent's marriage certificate.

There is also a registry of birth for James Frederick Bull born 27 November 1897- which fits the seaman's record I posted above.
