Could be any reason - deaths, miscarriages or stillbirths, for instance.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Long gaps are not unusual, Philip

In addition to AG's suggestions of stillbirths, miscarriages or deaths tha you haven't found or were not registered, some women just had a hard time conceiving, just like today. Only there was no help then.

My grandmother for example married in 1902, then had 4 children ....... 1903, 1910, 1915, 1925.

It is a little strange that Nancy had the big gap between 2 sets of children who were born in fairly short order..

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
