Venue from UKBMD website (viewed 9 Apr 2015)
The 1911 census shows that Harry and Florence had had 6 children of whom 4 were still living.
Five Gotham babies had been born and died in the Midlands (all Stoke on Trent Reg Dist) between Harry and Florence marrying and the 1911 census, 2 of which were presumably theirs.
I think these must have been one of Vera Helen (birth reg q4 1902) and Florence Cissy (birth reg q1 1903)
and one of Ernest Aston (birth reg q2 1908) and Edgar William (birth reg q3 1908)
The 1911 census shows that Harry's brother Alfred had also lost a child by 1911; as he only married in 1907 I think one of the two born in 1908 was his.
The fifth child to be born and die within this period was James Edward William, but his burial is on FreeReg and shows he was the son of a William Henry.
