Before compulsory registration was introduced, many families simply didn't register births; in many cases, they couldn't afford it. I thought Camberwell was Surrey................. Reg |

Val, Looks like you got these names from the 1861 census. Have you tried to find them in another and see what the surname is then? Rose |

hi have tried all sorts of spelling and leaving out the surname just searching on first names , seems strange because they were a very wealthy family I cannot think why they would not register the births of all the children but you do make some sense as there isnt just one missing, maybe you are right.I wondered if maybe the children were not the husbands and he took them on . |

Assuming you haven't discounted anything out of the ''right'' area, and also tried different spellings... registration wasn't compulsory till 1875. I have heard estimates of 15% missing. Two of mine don't appear to be registered, from 1841 & 1844. They married each other LOL |
