Hi,

Helen L. Pearce - born 1895 in Leicester
Parents Minnie & Joseph Pearce
In 1901 living in Leicester with parents

On the 1911 census it says that her mother Minnie has given birth to 9 children who were born alive, but only 6 are still living.

As I can account for what happened to all her children except Helen, I presume that Helen died sometime between 1901 - 1911. I can not however find a death for her.

Can anybody see something that I can't?

Thank you in advance for any help.
