So that's two more accounted for - two further births to find, assuming the mother's figure of 15 was accurate

Again - as I find them - births this time, from GlosBMD

Certainly 11 - if the two illegitimate ones were counted, we're still short of two

Not helping with your query, but you may not have this

It doesn't help that, at the moment, I can't see the family in 1891 and 1901

Family 1911 - where are they 1891 and 1901, am I blind?

Snap Erica - have been looking for ages 1891/1901. Would expect them to be Westbury area 1891 as William was born (Ruspidge) Q2 Westbury RD

Thank you for what you have found, so Sarah had 2 children before marriage, just out of interest Sarah was classed as single when she married in 1874. As already mentioned 2 could be stillborn (would their deaths/births be registered)

Please delete the link - it messes up the page.

And it isn't necessary - I posted the 1911 census for all to see.

Stillborn births were not supposed to be included. And, yes, she was single when she married - her first two children were illegitimate

Helina - have you found the family in 1891 or 1901 - or are you just going by the 1911 census and births found?

There may be children named on a census with no other record to be found for them

If Sarah was 64 in 1911 she would have been around 44 when she had William, so although still possible, perhaps unlike to have had children after him.

Look for gaps between other births when children births not yet found could have happened.

Unfortunately in both cases the original does look like Beron so don't think any chance of reporting it and getting it changed

Oh, GG, well done for finding them in 1891/1901.

And the extra child - only one to find, now

Unfortunately, Arthur wasn't baptised, but this is the burial
