Hi Queeny

Which area of Lancashire are we looking at ??

hi sorry salford

Are they in the 1911 census? If Henrietta is still alive the entry should tell you how many children she had and how many have died.

Queeny

The 1911 Census asks how many children have been born and how many are still living, that should answer part of your question

Possibly not - I have a widower living wih his children in 1911, but because he isnt listed as married theres no total for children listed with him, just the names and ages of those living at home

I also have one with a 'new' step mum who has listed the children as if they were the children form the new marriage, and one who hasnt!

I suppose it would be down to how the individual interpreted the question about the children really tho, he may have filled it in (unlike my one!)
