The 1911 is the first census in which the original enumeration sheets have been saved ........ they were filled in by the head of the house (or I guess by someone else if he/she couldn't write). So waht you see s the ahndwriting of your ancestor, |

Personally I am ignoring the data re dead children cos it is so unreliable. I know my gg grandfather had 12 dead children by 1911 and none are mentioned on the census. Because they were all stillborn or died within days, I wonder if they were only reporting children who survived and then died. I know this is true from (a) my mother's memory that 12 children died at or near birth and (b) the fact that they are all buried in the local churchyard. |

By 1911 I expect that somebody in the household was doing their census return as most people had an education by then. |

On the 1911 census my Great Grandfather poignantly listed each of his dead children by name as well as giving the figure of those born and those still living. |

When I posted this thread I was a little unsure of what the responses might be but I'm glad I did as I have other avenues to follow now thanks to the responses received. |

In one household there were two babies missing, and, because they had an unusual surname, and I knew where the family had lived for some years previously, I was fortunate enough to find the names registered in free BMD that could have been them. |

I've just tried it too and think I've found a female relative. Will send for the cert for proof. |

Now the 1911 census gives us the number of children born alive but died how could/should those we're not certain of be recorded on our trees? What have others done please? Hope this makes sense. LOL |
