He doesn't appear with the family on the 1911 census so I guess I'll trawl for the poor mite's death.

Sad....

Thanks

Edit: I found his death (aged 0) in December 1905 the same month he was baptised.

PB means Privately Baptised. Usually done when the baby is poorly and expected to die soon.

RIP? Not sure apart from the obvious?

On the far right of the baptism entry is what looks like PB and underlined, beneath that RIP.

If you want to see the image it's here:
