Thank you for that Germaine Of course, there was no IVF then and if they were unable to have children they would have just gone without.

I should think so Carol. I have a couple though earlier than your never any children from early 1800's till they died in the 1880's except for a nephew who lived with them in 51and then as they got old they with him. I suppose they couldn't have children unless they had them and they died between census, but i haven't come across any. Germaine x

I have a couple married in 1879. I have them on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census with apparently no children. Not likely to be any after 1901 as wife was 49 by then and she died in 1913
