But thanks for looking anyway :-)

There's this:

Soldiers Died in the Great War

Joseph Skitt of Willenhall, Staffordshire

Killed in action - Flanders - lst November 1914

But just realised this can't be yours, as they had children after the war.

I have found out from my grandmother that Joseph had had 3 children with Lillian Pearson. He had:
Rose Skitt (1911-Unknown)
Horace Skitt (1918-1962)
Samuel Skitt (1921-1999)

I hope this can help anyone :-)

it said on the census that there were two children born alive however one of them had died.

I am planning to take a trip down to London son to take a look at the archives then but i have to wait for the school holidays first,

Thanks for everyone that has contributed it has really helped,

If the baby was still born, there would not be a birth certificate at that time

On the 1911 census the boarders are William Payton and his wife Ethel with child Edith.

William Payton married Ethel Pearson so could be Lily's sister.

And the answer to my search for variations is zero.

Can someone with access to military stuff please see if Joseph joined up as his marriage was just before the start of WW1. Talking to hubby who is into miltary history, he says that it wouldn't be impossible that an ordinary working man to pick up on what was beginning to kick off, especially if he could read the newspapers. Joseph signed and wrote address on the census himself. I wonder if they suddenly got married if he was about to enlist. Just a thought.J

Joseph's Mothers maiden name was Squire,

She was remarried after her husband Noah Skitt died in 1896 to a man named Matthew Corrigan. He then lived with his mother and step-Father and his two step-sisters at the time of the 1901 census.

Based on Joseph (b1881) and the census stating that they were all born in Willenhall, the family didn't move around.

So I looked at Freebmd but very sadly there were a lot of child deaths in Staffordshire.

And as Andrew says, there are no marriage showing as indicated on the census. I did a very wide date span and even took out the search only being for Staffs.

I am about to see if I can find it under spelling variations.

Hmm..

Looks like young Joseph was registered under mother maiden name
