Ah the way I was doing this was by revisiting what I had on my tree from Ancestry hints, I then went and had a look at the census that did not have the indexes complete and then went and tried to cross reference by locating baptism records. The baptism records that I found for the following were not to the same parents:

William
Emily
Alfred
Catherine
Henry
Margaret

With the GRO search, i've done each one manually (I guess that was the idea) and I found birth records for all BUT NOT Henry.

Unless there was another Nurse/Arnold marriage in the time frame, then using the free GRO site - as previously suggested - will bring up the births to your couple.

Your OP suggests you have census access so you should be able to cross reference

Uggh, this lack of any decent records goes back even further on the Nurse Family. Would people agree that Edward Nurse, born in Atherstone, Warwickshire, in 1831, who married Ann Roe Arnold, born in Coventry in 1835, had the following children:

Edward Nurse 1852 - 1927
John Nurse 1854 - 1924
James Nurse 1855 - 1826
Ann E Nurse - 1858 - 1953
Catherine Nurse - 1860 - 1844
Alfred Nurse - 1862 - 1927
Henry Nurse - 1865 -
Margaret Nurse - 1867 -
Emily Nurse - 1870 -
William Norman Nurse - 1875 - 1949

No census records with ages or positions within the family, no baptism records suggested. I do dispair.

Edit: I've since tried to look up the baptisms and I don't think the following are Ann Roe Arnold and Edward Nurses' (i.e. i'm not sure where they fit in) - so, again, would you agree?

William
Emily
Alfred
Catherine
Henry
Margaret

are not their children?

Thanks.

Thanks!

Ah yes of course, thanks! I'd ended up with 11 kids - probably best to get them in order before researching further (as I have been able to with your help - thanks all) before moving onwards! I think we've done this one to death now - thanks very much again!

Thanks ever so much! I’ve got the Lindon connection - although I think I’ve got Alfred Lyndon if I remember correctly! Yeah it seems a family with messy records - great advice there above re the hints - they’re blooming awful and yes you end up with a family tree as useful as a chocolate fire guard. This is why I’m now going through the records with a forensic tooth comb - and - it’s getting there somewhat with the exception of my Dad’s mainline - the records simply aren’t there it seems, So I’ve moved on to the Nurses - as usual now a heavily relying on the census and, before that, baptism records.

In short I’ve learnt my lesson there!
