Hi All

Please excuse my ignorance but I'm fairly new to this.

Could anyone tell me how I can trace all of the children born to a couple

I know for sure that there are more than are showing on the 1911 census

Thanks

Emjay

After 1911 the mother's maiden name was added to the birth listings which show on sites like FreeBMD. So you could try searching just with father's surname then mother's maiden name in the third box down.

If the names are very common you might have trouble picking out the relevant children but sometimes this can help.
