The only child i can see missing from a census is Albert, doesnt appear on 1911 census, however he would have been around 30 years old so it is more likely that he had married and moved out by then. Maybe they had another baby that was born and died inbetween census's?

Gerald's birth certificate would confirm his mother's maiden name.

By the way, 1911 states they have been married 31 years and have had 10 children, 9 still living. You might be able to figure out which child died looking at who is on different census reports.

I am trying to find out about the family of Gerald Hunt born 1900 Blackburn Lancashire, he is my great grandfather. On his marriage certificate his fathers name is Isaac Hunt. Based simply on a couple of matches in other trees I believe his father (Isaac) was born in 1858 Eccleshill, Lancashire. And this is all i have. Would someone be kind enough to check census records for parents and siblings. Thanks in advance, Abi :o)
