The details for Lily look right. They didn't give her a very aspirational job in 1911, poor girl!
Harold Arthur could be Arthur - all the babies have middle names - but most of the names are reused and there are no more Harolds. There is the death of an infant Arthur in 1894 ( but no obvious birth ) but he had no middle name.
My computer wasn't playing last night and wouldn't open cityark baptism images so I'll have another try tonight.
Malling does border on Medway but isn't really close to where they lived on the censuses.

Unless this is Arthur?

Thats why I posted those deaths which could possably be them?

Lily's birth

Births Dec 1891 (>99%)

Skinner Lily Caroline J Medway 2a 592

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with the same middle names as her mother so looks like a dead cert for this one
Not seeing an Arthur in Medway though one in Malling is that close by?

Ok Jax
LOL I was having a bad day.

If neither Arthur 1894 or Lily are on 1901 they must have died as babes.
A real puzzle this.

There is nine LK think you need to go to spec savers lol

They would'nt have two children called Arthur either so the eldest one must have died

jax

Just a thought
What if they read the question as how many children alive/
How man children have died?

There are 8 children on here so there is still one missing

So who died?

I am at work so cannot follow through-sorry

I Know that... and as West Ham came under Essex too it is not included in the London Baptisms

jax

Walthamstow is'nt covered in the London Baptisms as I have found with my own family.
I does seem strange to include these children if they had died, but stranger things have happened on these forms

jax

Thanks for helping me to start unravelling all of this! I am still struggling with Alfred.
Has anyone got any idea why the dead children have been given occupations when all died in infancy?
I can hopefully check the Chatham baptisms but are West Ham ones included on the Ancestry London baptisms? I don't have access to this.
Katie

No I think that means Essex I was born in Walthamstow which was Essex in those days LK

jax

Getting an error message when I try to look at the image

Is Ex next to the deceased children?
That makes 5 Dead .

Well there are two Arthurs MC and the elder Arthur and lily are not on the 1901 either

jax

I have seen dead children on the census before not this many though

As you say jax very strange, I'll have to sort out who is alive and who is dead! They all seem to have "occupations"... It does look like him though.
He was convicted of rape in the 1880s - perhaps that's why he started using his second name.
Katie

Odd Jax, I wonder if they meant 5 still at home? There are occupations/scholar status given , which there surely wouldn't be if they really had died.

Very strange on the 1911 they had 9 children but 4 had died but they still included them it seems.

It looks like the last 4 children mentioned died in infancy even though two of them had jobs....um very strange
