Charles Ernest 1883 ,Albert victor 1888 and Frederick oscar 1889. All were born Preston or Southport . I’ve tried parish records ,census searched b m d can anyone help me on the right track to try find the missing child please
Thanks for any help :)

So not born 1960 ;-)

Have you tried Lancsbmd?

Or the GRO site?

Have you allowed for different spellings of MMN?

It may be unconnected, but there is a Helme/Helme birth in the same area (Preston St John) in 1879

Just a thought..........

Sorry was 1860 typo error

Think the first child was Ellen b 1881 hence why they married in 1880

The question about number of children in 1911 was addressed to the woman

Don’t be inflexible in your thinking

_____________________

It's possible the 5th child was a stillbirth that wasn't registered or even a miscarriage that Sarah mistakenly thought of as a birth. Or as an earlier suggestion, a child born before marriage.

1911 census. The original shows, that whilst Sarah says she is married, she and Charles are living apart. She says married 31 years - 5 children born, 3 are still living and 2 have died.

Have you tracked down "children" Charles and Albert in 1911? Both were alive in 1901. Again husband Charles is not with the family.

Yes this is them Charles was not living with them in 1911 as he was a naughty boy and had beat Sarah up a few times . So was not allowed in the family home . Yes Ellen died in 1888 . And I’ve found the 3 boys details but cannot find that missing baby . As quoted in 1911 5 born living 2 had died . Thank you for trying I guess it’s another brick wall .:) I

LANCS OPC shows these 5 baptisms 1885 +/- 5 years to a Charles and Sarah Boyle.

None showing 1895 +/- 5 years

None of which throws any light on her parentage.

So far, I haven't spotted her in 1881 - 1901.

Thank you everyone for your help .......still no link but will keep looking thanks again ,

A possibility may be she had a still born who she counted in number of children born and as one who had died
