Missing child of Benjamin James Gregory and Emily (nee Townsend)

Thank you for the web link, very useful. It can't be the other location, too many other children!

As the birth and death registration are in the same quarter it is likely that the parents did not get around to baptising her.

Have you seen that images for some birth and death registrations are now available from that website for £2.50 each

Why do you think that the birth and death were in the same quarter? We don't know if the child was a boy or girl. Could one possibility be that Emily had a still birth but counted that as have a child that died?

It is true that the question could have been answered wrongly, buying the birth registration image would answer who the parents were.  I have just checked Gregory / Townsend births back to 1880, they are only showing the Keynsham area family

I assumed you meant 'if' and not 'as'. Thank you I think it is more likely than not that Martha is the missing child. I will have to get the birth certificate to confirm. Thank you for your help.
