I am continuing to find more information about my ancestors
and family members to add to my family history database; particularly in
finding children of more distant relatives. The 1911 England census includes
the number of children born to each woman and how many of those children have
died, as well as the number of years married couple have been married. While it
is useful to know that a family may have had more children than are listed, it
still leaves one to find the names, birthdates and genders of those children. I
am grateful today to find the names, gender and birth years of children, from
one family, who had died listed on the census form. It seems the form was
misread by the person filing the form out, likely the father or mother and the
entries crossed out with a single line by the enumerator. However, I believe
that it was not really a mistake but guided by divinity to ensure that this
family will be sealed together as an eternal family prior to the
millennium.
