Hi I seem to have much trouble finding deaths, are there any tricks I have missed as I am still a newbie and learning. eg. Sidney George Powles, I have birth 1900 Great Yarmouth ,1901 census, baptism, no trace 1911 census presume he died before aged 11 but no trace of death. I have the same problem with 5 of his 9 siblings any advice gratefully recieved, sorry to waffle.regards Dias

He didn't die.

He's on the 1911 census as Sidney George Powles. Look again.

He's there with siblings Charles, Blanche, Elsie, Gladys and James.
