oh really?....so there might be nothing to identify where they are then do you mean? Oh well, I will still go with my brother and take a look. I'm very keen now you've provided me with so much information. Thank you so much again.

Hello Paula.

There is a medal index card for a Thomas Danks (15/265) West Yorkshire Regiment. The Leeds and Bradford Pals battalion's were part of the West Yorks regiment.

The 15/ prefix to his service number would usually signify that he had enlisted with the 15th battalion of the West Yorks. The 15th Bn was  otherwise known as the 1st Leeds Pals Battalion.

I will try and get in touch with WYAS tomorrow.

They are also available to view in the family history section of the Leeds Central library.

The reference below shows Frank Boulton (my 2x great uncle) and his wife in 1911;

RG14; Piece: 26005; ; .

I know about the first two children but I am mystified with the rest of the information on the original census image.  For a start, Frank (if he was the one who filled in the census) or the enumerator can't add up.  It says six children born, three died, five still living.  That does not make any sense

As you will see on the transcription of the image and the original, no information apart from their name is given about the children who have been crossed out, so I don't know where to begin searching for them.  They don't appear in 1901 so they will have been born between 1901 and 1911.

I would be grateful if someone could help me fathom this one out.

Thanks.

Hello,

The first and last children on the census were born in Menston (Wharfedale reg district) so its probable that the other two who were crossed out were also. You need to just search the bmd for them between 1901-1911.

For example there is a Blanche Boulton born Wharfedale Jan-Feb-Mar 1905 and died Wharfedale Jan-Feb-Mar 1905, this is possibly the girl on your census ?
