Hi ,
My GGF Thomas Thorneycroft B1865 married Martha nee Pepper in 1886
According to the 1911 Census they had 9 children ; 6 survived & 3 died
How do I find out who the 3 that died were ?
Thanks ???
-
If I were you I'd start from the marriage in 1886 and make a list of the Dates of Birth of the children that you know and see if there are any large gaps between them. Then look in Freebmd http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ and see if you can find any suitable births and deaths in the right area. Luckily it isn't a common name like Smith. Also check previous censuses in case any are mentioned.

There are more Thorneycrofts than you would think having children in the district - I've spotted quite afew infant deaths that could be theirs in that period
-
Some could probably be eliminated by their births being too close to a child who survived. It won't be an easy task though unless you can find baptisms that give parents' names. The other children's births were registered in Wolstanton.

7 sorry ???

Looking at those there is time for a birth between 1887 and 1890 and between 1890 and 1894 and possibly between 1894 and 1897. After that the births are about every 2 years.
For instance there is this birth/death
Births Dec 1888
THORNEYCROFT Emma Jane Wolstanton 6b 91
Deaths Dec 1888
THORNEYCROFT Emma Jane 0 Wolstanton 6b 69
Have you got the birth certificates of the other children, or were you able to find baptisms?
-
I saw this one also
Staffordshire Birth indexes for the years: 1892 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference THORNEYCROFT Emma Wolstanton Newcastle-Under-Lyme PEPPER WOL/054/28
which is more likely do you think ???
-
I only have Millicent's birth cert
-
As the mother's maiden name was Pepper, that looks a good possibility
-
Hi Sensei
Following on from the chat, I carried on trying to find children etc. That was the child that I found that was one of the deaths that we needed to find, so I agree.

Some are listed with Pepper as mother's maiden name but some are not!
