Christine ............


On the 1911 Census, the number of children born refers to the number of children had by the mother, and it should be "in the present marriage" ......... although some people would put down the total number birthed during a previous marriage.

It looks to me as though your two were honest when they registered children ..... so, yes, look for them under mother's name Thompson

Can you post the parent's 1911 census, please? That should say how many children were born to the marriage, and how many have died.
