Marion if you put the names up here we can help look for a marriage perhaps? and earlier census details which might pin them down a bit. |

Thank you all for your replies ..... On the 1911 census it stated they had been married for 28 years but I cannot find any marriage for them. I will have to try as you have suggested and look for births in that area and parish records etc. Thanks for all your advice. |

marion ifound relatives by going to local record office and looking in the cemetery registers first they were listed by year and alphbetical name then plot and where they died. in lots of cases tho it said child of ( eg )jones, esp stillborn so you cannot always trace a young child.the tv folk make it look so easy! |

In your situation I would look at the age spread of the children and look for likely gaps, where a child ( maybe premature? ) could have been born. |

I don't want to discourage you, but my first comment is that Who do You Think You Are makes it all look so easy - they've got a high-powered team of professionals and contacts in all the right places! For the amateur, if this information is to be found, it's a long, hard and expensive slog. |

On 1911 census it stated that my ancestor had 10 children and 6 were still living and 4 had died. how do you find out the who 4 died if you don`t know there names? and there will probably be a lot of people with their surname. ?? I saw on Who do you think you are programme the other day they managed to find some that had died. Any advice please. |
