According to 1911 census my great grandparents
George Oakes 1875-1956 and Emma Berry 1875-1939
married 10 years - correct married 2 jun 1900
had 3 live births - 2 died - 1 still living
Ethel mar 1903 was one still living
May b sep 1901 d sep 1901 bap 21 jul 1901 one that died
Samuel b sep 1906 d dec 1906 bap 24 aug 1906 other one that died
ok so far so good
BUT
whilst trawling parish records I came across
James Oakes bap 27 Jan 1896
I cannot find any birth or death record for this wee chappie at all though the address on his baptism is the same as Georges mother and siblings in 1901.
Cannot find any other George and Emma in Kidderminster at this time.
Can I assume that this child is infact one of mine but because of 1911 census and lack of birth/death that he was probably stillborn???
many thanks
