Can anyone help please. I have just looked at the 1911 census and found out that my grt grandad Henry Dannatt born 1852 South Owersby Lincs married to Harriet Ferraby had 10 children born alive and 6 were still living and 4 had died.
I have just been to the library to check for christenings for the years 1869 to 1899 for South Kelsey and the micro fiche was too dark and I could not make anything out. I have checked all the census from 1871 to 1911 and there are no extra names.....I have found George b 1870, Harry b 1878, Jessie b 1881, Alice b 1883, Charles F b 1886, Gertie b 1889 and Florrie b 1893 so I have 3 children missing.
I am guessing the missing children were born and died in between the censuses. Without spending a lot of money buying a lot of birth & death certificates for children registered at Caistor in the between the years 1871 to 1899 what can I do?
My gut feeling tells me the births could be between 1871 to 1877 for there appears 2/3 years between the other births.

Thanks for that Geoff. Does it say on your copy of 1841 census the address of George Dannatt & family living in Glentham? I have just looked again on findmypast it it says Spittal Inn.

Thomas Fanthorpe b abt 1767  "        "               "   died 1836
James Fanthorpe  b abt 1769    "        "               "   died 1842 Nth Willingham Lincs
John Fanthorpe b abt 1754       "         "               "   died 1818 Newton-by-Toft Lincs
Ann Fanthorpe b abt  1759        "        "               "

James Fanthorpe married a Mary ? they had 2 children.........Charles b 1797,  Sarah b 1800
Ann Fanthorpe married George Kirman

That is all I know about the Fanthorpes because my main interest is the Dannatts. I hope I have been of help.

Thank you Graham, I had not thought about Probate records.

That's correct Graham I was unable to read the marriage record fully. I could make out the names of George Dannatt and Sarah Fanthorpe but was unable to make out the names of any witnesses or a deal else.
