I've had this type of search within my own tree too and its a nightmare, my x2 grt grandmother states in 1911 Census that she had 10 children, 6 survived. I could only find 7 children then I found another two but under different spellings, I still have one child to find but sometimes I wonder if she forgot how many children she actually had, although my nana assured me her grandmother had 10 children. My families name is Storie and I found children under Story,Storry,Storrie & Sterry.

The only way to find 'more' is to purchase certs

I have found 1 girl that was born in York and died in 1899 aged 0 name Ida Rose will try and find more on her and those born in Doncaster

If you are restricting your search to the period between censuses, you may be looking in the wrong time-scale...........

Where were the children you know about born?

Looking for entries with birth 1894-1911, and death 1894 onwards in York, there is also this one:

Name: Phyllis May Flint
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1902
Registration district: York
Inferred County: Yorkshire East Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 41

Name: Phyllis May Flint
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1903
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1903
Age at Death: 0
Registration district: York
Inferred County: Yorkshire East Riding

Jan

Unless it is this one ??

Name: Rose Ida Flint
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1898
Registration district: Huntingdon
Inferred County: Huntingdonshire
Volume: 3b
Page: 275

That is the one I am trying to find the birth for.

Cannot find a corresponding birth for this little girl. If she died soon after birth, maybe it wasn't registered:

Deaths Jun 1899 (>99%)
FLINT Ida Rose 0 York 9d 31

Might have been born and died before 1901 census

When did they marry ?


Marriages Mar 1894 (>99%)

Burns Sarah Emma York 9d 74
Flint William York 9d 74
Middleton Mary Jane York 9d 74
Poulter Harry York 9d 74

I am trying to find a child that was born and died between the census returns of 1901 and 1911.

According to the 1911 census Sarah Emma Flint (nee Burns) had 3 children 2 living 1 died.. The 2 living were Bernard Austin born 1895 and Dorothy Annie born 1897. Father William born 1868

1901 they were living in York, 1911 living in Doncaster can not find birth and death of a child in either place during those 10 years.

Where else can I look for the name?
