Thank you for your suggestions. Having checked out the bmd I found lots of possibilities in the area. I think I will have to take Madmeg's advice and perhaps search for a family grave.

Unfortunately without christian names you are going to have difficulty. My family had two dead children but it gives no indication as to when they were born (the couple had been married for over 20 years) or their names - I found scores of possibles in the area.

Your best bet is to find a family grave with the dead children in it.

You could have a look for their births & deaths on this site but if its a common name then it will be hard

My g.grandparents were married in 1886 and my grandfather was born in 1890. On the 1891 and 1901 census there is only him living with his parents but on the 1911 census it says my g.grandmother had 3 children, 2 of which died. Could anyone tell me how I can find when these children were born.Barbara
