The census image states 2 children born, 1 has died. Lily is down as 5 weeks, but as both her birth/death were reg Q4/1910 I would think that was how old she was when she died - rather than her age when the census was completed.

Flip

Flip Report 11 Nov 2012 05:44

I think this is the William Crabtree on the 1881 census - it states he was 3 months old, so possible not the right one:

Births Mar 1881 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CRABTREE William Henry Aston 6d 267

However, not having any luck in locating the William found on 1911 census on any other census.

Laura, where did the date of birth come from - and when did he die?

For some reason this death cert is attached to the military record for William Henry Crabtree - I'm just ploughing through the 42 pages to see if it is connected. William Henry, born Birmingham 1881 according to enlistment.

I have just been looking at that death cert and those records too Flip - they do seem to be the one we are looking for ??

ALSO - Laura said he died in Wallingford and this is the only death | can come up with, which also fits 'that' William Henry !!!

In the military file, his wife is named as Rose (Gee) and he has daughter Rose Ellen dob 6/8/1909, and another child William Henry dob 21/2/1912 but he is crossed out - died 8/11/1914 - there is also that child's death cert on the record.

Must be the right one, so no idea where the middle name Charles came from??

Flip

Flip Report 11 Nov 2012 09:14

Dea, it must be the right one, according to the record they married 18/11/1902 at Reading registry office.

Dea

Dea Report 11 Nov 2012 09:18

Yep !! - I saw those details also !

We can do no more without Laura!

If that Rose Ellen matches her great nan then we have the correct one !
