OK, last year I looked at a branch of my mother in laws tree - the Stanford's from the Birmingham area. I am going to write it up for her as she is recovering from an operation and so currently house bound, but I am now confused and wondered whether anyone could help me?
The parents are Thomas Stanford (1839-1914) and the mother Emma Maullin (1842 - 1885). I have it that they had 10 children:
Annie Maria Stanford 1864–1952; Albert Edward Stanford 1866–1931; [B]Harry Stanford 1869 - ?; Thomas Maullin Stanford 1871–1871; [B]Harold Maullin Stanford 1872–1890; Marie Louise Stanford 1874–1932; Ada Mary Stanford 1876–1876; Emma Stanford 1878–1933; Thomas Reginald Stanford 1879–1920; Rowland Edgar Stanford 1881–1935
Thomas's entry in the 1911 census states that 6 of his children were still living, 4 had died so I am assuming that the first Harry (born in 1869) must have died by then. He's not listed with the family in any of the census returns.
The GRO confirm that both Harry Stanford (b. 1869) and Harold Maullin Stanford (b. 1872) were born to a mother named "Maullin".
But, I cannot find a death for the first Harry. I assumed he would have died before the birth of Harold Maullin in 1872, but cannot find a death. Am I being really dim and missing it? Family Search is quoting a Find My Past record "England, Staffordshire, Church Records" stating that a "Henry Stanford" was baptised at St James Parish, Wednesbury on 28 March 1895 (the birth date is stated as 4 June 1869 and the parents given as Thomas and Emma). I don't have Find My Past, so can't check this.
Can anyone please help me find his death please?
