Find Ancestors

According to the 1911 census, my great grandmother had given birth to 12 children and had lost 6. I have found 3 of them but I'm not having much luck with the other 3. Does anyone know of another way of finding them other than going through birth and death records? It is getting difficult to fit them in between the dates of the other 9.
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Denise

Could you post the 1911 details and perhaps we can see how best to help you find them..

In 1899 Rose Lilian died at 4 months, 1905 Leslie Frank died at 2 months and 1907 Arthur Percy Sidney died at 4 months.
Hope this helps,
Thank you.

Just putting for reference. Image says 5 children have died so you are only looking for another 2:

There's also Harold V F in 1918 that matches Brain/Clements

But that obviously doesn't help trace the missing two or three children - if 5 had died (as Brummiejan says) doesn't that mean there should be another living child?

Judith, have re-checked and it seems they have had 11 children in all not 12.

aah good..makes the puzzle slightly less confusing!

:-)

Barry, she has those already - see above.
Jan

I think you can possibly rule out these two...

Deaths Mar 1904 (>99%)
BRAIN Alice 0 Lewisham 1d 740 - birth registered Mar 1904 as well and she gave birth to Annie Irene Sep 1904?


Deaths Jun 1898 (>99%)
Brian William Bertram 0 Lewisham 1d 610
Harry Charles (incidentallly Thomas Twitchener) born Sep 1898

What is strange though is that there is a death for Arthur Percy Sidney in Dec 1907 but there is a birth for Arthur in June 1907 and Percy Sidney in Sep 1907!!!!!

If Alice was born November / December 1903, she could still perhaps be one of the missing children......?

Gwyn

Thank you all for your help, especially for confirming that Harry jnr.'s T.T. is Thomas Titchener - his maternal grandfather and maiden name of his paternal grandmother. Alice can't be one of the missing babies as Florence had Lilian in August 1903, Annie in August 1904 and Leslie in August 1905. I am just getting confused as to what years to look in. Poor Florence seemed to always be pregnant. The story goes that she actually had 21 children in all with a set of twins and triplets somewhere, but I'm beginning to doubt that now.
