Just to go back to the missing child:-

You state that Henry and Caroline married in 1889:-
Marriages Sep 1889 (>99%)
Dabbs Henry Cannock 6b 683
WHITEHOUSE Caroline Cannock 6b 683

and

Ethel Ann was born:-
Births Jun 1890 (>99%)
Dabbs Ethel Ann Cannock 6b 486

....................but if you go back and take a look at 1891 census there is another child called Ethel who is 10yrs old so born abt. 1881 before the couple were married, so she is either the illegitimate daughter of Caroline, her daughter from a previous marriage, or she could also be the daughter of Henry.

Can't see a birth for an Ethel Dabbs, but there are two possible births for an Ethel Whitehouse:-

Births Jun 1880 (>99%)
WHITEHOUSE Ethel Mary W.Bromwich 6b 884
Births Jun 1882 (>99%)
Whitehouse Ethel Phoebe E W. Bromwich 6b 836


Do you have the marriage certificate, this should note if Whitehouse was her maiden name or if she had been married before?

Do you have any other info about Caroline before the marriage?

I noticed all those too rootgatherer but wasn't sure as the child in 1891 census is noted as Ethel and not Edith so didn't post?

We really need to know what the marriage cert. says to be sure, but they do all seem to fit, although I couldn't find a suitable marriage for Caroline either?
