Hello! I have just joined Genes Reunited and am very much the new boy in researching my family tree. I am doing very well but have a particular question that I would appreciate help on.

How can I find out the names of children born to parents, particularly after the 1911 census?

Two examples from different ages:

1. I know the names and date of marriage (1943) of two individuals but do not know how many children they had, if any. Both parents are now dead so this appears to be a dead branch of the tree unless they had offspring of which I am unaware.

2. I know from the 1891 census that other relatives had 4 children, 2 of whom had died. I know the names of the ones living from the census but how do I find out the names of the ones who died in between censuses?

grateful for any guidance

Dave
