Thanks for looking Lynne, I see you found the six, I thing the seventh was born and died between censuses and I dont know how to find this out.

Lynski

Lynski Report 13 Apr 2011 07:08

According to the 1911 census original there were 7 children, 2 of whom had died.

I just chose Harold to find out the district he was registered in to see if it gave a clue to others but there are so many born and died since Peter and Harriet married that it might not be possible to find out who the 7th is???

Sorry I have found these two now on census records

Sometimes the birth are not registered if still born.

Flick

Flick Report 13 Apr 2011 10:35

If a child was stillborn, the 1911 would not have referred to it

They were asked to record LIVE births
