I am researching Lucy Addleton who was born in Loughborough in 1839 and married William Winfield in 1865. In the 1911 census Lucy claimed that she had had 16 children of whom only 3 were still living. Along the way she had also managed to adopt a little boy! Can anyone provide the cemetery listings for children of Lucy Addleton in Loughborough please? I think her first child Sarah was born in 1863 before she married and I am aware of Emma (Selby) who died 4 June 1865 aged 14days while she was still a singlewoman.
I have found the ones that lived long enough to appear in a census but there must be many more who died young. I am descended from her daughter Louisa who died young in 1900. If any of her other descendants are researching please get in touch.

Hi
Is this the family you are talking about William' surname Addleton and not Winfield :-\ The 1865 marriage appears to have called her Lucy Selby.
1881
Wm. Addleton 42
Lucy Addleton 42
Louisa Addleton 14
Wm. Addleton 12
Harriet Addleton 8
Clara Addleton 6
It would help us if you listed all the children you know about. ;)

Using FreeBMD I can't see a marriage for Wimfield to Addleton, looked 1860 to 1870? ???
However, there is:
December qtr 1865
Loghborough district vol 7a, page 263
Addleton, William
+ and on the same page +
Selby, Lucy

Harriett 1873

Thanks for all the replies. My mistake - I meant the marriage of William Addleton to Lucy Selby in 1865 and I am then looking for the deaths of Lucy Addleton's children pre/post the marriage. I have found the family in all the censuses up to 1911 (in 1891 the name is mis-transcribed as Addleston). diddymiller- I am very happy to wait a while as you will be back before I will be able to get to Loughborough. Hope you are having a great holiday.

Thank you very much diddymiller. We now seem to have accounted with some certainty for 8 or possibly 9 of Lucy Addleton's children namely
Sarah Ann (Selby) b 1863 d 28/12/1878
Emma (Selby) b 5/1865 d 4 June 1865
Louisa Addleton b 1866 d 2/1900
William Henry b 1868 d 1934
Harriet b 1871
Arthur b 1873 d 3/1/1874
Clara b 1874
Eliza Ellen b 1877 d 19/12/1877
and possibly
Elizabeth b 1869 d 1869
So if Lucy herself was correct when she asserted in 1911 that she had had 16 children of whom 3 were living and 13 had died we are still missing 7. There were three living in 1911 (William Henry, Clara and Harriet) so she was right about that at least.
Lucy was 37 when Eliza Ellen was born in 1877 so in theory she may have had several more years in which she could bear more children. I have not yet been able to analyse all the data to see if there are any other gaps where a full term baby could have been born in the earlier period. Today all children who are born alive have to be registered even if they die within a very short time. Does anyone know what was the custom and practice in the 1860/1870s? Would a baby which was born alive but died immediately after birth be registered or receive a normal burial?
