2 lost children, help with baptism records
« on: Monday 17 January 11 17:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have a problem finding 2 children who died between the census' to Alfred Lee and Maggie May. They were living in the St.John/Cudworth area in 1901 but by 1911 they are living in Nottingham.
When I looked at the 1911 census it says there were 2 children which didn't survive so must have died between 1903 (when their daughter Sarah Ann was born)and 1911 (when my gran Rosina was born).
I would really love to know the names of these children and their dates of birth as I've almost finished researching all of this side of my family.
Many thanks for any help, it's much appreciated :)
Mandy

Have you checked freebmd for likely births/deaths in both Yorkshire and Notts?

If they moved from Yorkshire - Nottingham sometime between 1903-1911 - the children could have been born/died  in either area

They married in 1898 and had 2 children on the 1901 census, the youngest of which was only 2 weeks old

So if Sarah was their next child b 1903 in Yorkshire - when did they move to Notts?

Lee is a very common surname and there are lots of births in both Yorkshire and Notts

Barnsley was the registration district for Cudworth

Hi there,
thanks-you so mcuh for your reply :)
I have no idea when they moved back to Notts so the children could have been born inn either county - so that and the surname Lee has made this one really tricky!!
I've sat and done a whole list of all Lee children that died between 1904 and 1910 in both areas, crickey, how many?  :o
I was just hoping that someone might have the baptism records to hand so I could either find them or cross the area off my list of where to look next. I've tried the family search website too with no luck, and also checked at the Nottingham archives for baptisms for the area they were living in in Notts, again, no luck  ???

Thanks again  :D

Hiya Mandy
The reason I asked for an address is because I've found the burials for the twin boys and it says 10 Wilson Street doesn't say Barnsley or Cudworth but the records I'm looking at were Barnsley.So it might be back to the drawing board if I find anything else I'll get back to you but it might not be tonight.
