The is no other birth in BMD that I can see, gibbo. I can find no other evidence that I'm missing one of the children. Almost all of them preferred to use their middle names. :biggrin:

The obit for Ellen says 4 sons and 3 daughters and that means the 'third son of ..." has to be an error, although it's 2 years to the birth of the first.

I'd better look for a death in case one died young and there was no birth reg.

No sign of a death.
