The 1911 census shows that Thomas and Jessie had been married for 17 years. They had had 5 children born alive to the marriage, but 1 had since died

Here are the 4 showing on the 1911 census. Be blowed if i can find a 5th at the moment. Could be a variant spelling, born out of expected area, born before marriage etc
