Do you have their exact dates of birth? It would be easier to find them in 1939 records.

The 1906 marriage for Agnes isn't her:-

Spouse Age: 30
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 2 Dec 1906
Parish: St Thomas, Finsbury Park

..........her father was William and not James.

1911 also shows another daughter:-

Name: Daisy White
Age in 1911: 6
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1905
Relation to Head: Daughter
Gender: Female
Birth Place: STOKE NEWINGTON, London, England

..............so this looks to be the daughter from the marriage posted earlier.


Several reasons why a whole family may have vanished, including them having emigrated. Any chance that they may have gone abroad?

Hi Catherine, Thanks for all your hard work. Margurite (Daisy) is my Grandmother so I didn't include her as I know all about her.
DOB for the others, I only have..
Agnes 13.5.1889.
Ellen 5.11.1890
John 13.7.1894
Daisy 13.8.1904
Nothing for Walter I'm afraid. I had found the Elstree, Herts death but without buying the cert couldn't be sure, it looks as thought you are correct and that now gives his probable DOB. Thanks so much, how do I find this 1939 index? Lesley

Hi, Catching up.. Walter Leonard is not mine, if you look at the 1911census you will see Walter L with family James and Susan and Walter with family James and Agnes, that's my Walter so none of the info re Walter Leonard is applicable.
None of the family went abroad as far as I know.
None of the children bar Susan Magdelen, who died age3yrs had second names.
Thanks for your continuing interest. Lesley
