Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 May 2019)
Shows Francis Bates, Bachelor, Labourer, abode Vauxhall Rd., aged 21, father Paul Bates, Porter and Esther McCormick, aged 19, Spinster, no occupation given, abode Vauxhall Rd., father John McCormick, Boiler maker
Confusingly the 1911 census shows that Francis and Esther had had 10 children two of whom had died. Since there are 8 of their children with them at the time of that census it seemed it must be the other two, with them in earlier censuses, who had died, i.e. Joseph and Francis. However, there is a James who was born in a gap between the children shown in the censuses, for whom a death can be found; the mother's maiden name in his birth registration suggests he was a son of Francis and Esther (there is no evidence of other Bates - McCormick (or similar sounding) couples having children at this time).
There is also no death registration of a Joseph of the right age in Lancashire between 1901 and 1911, nor any sign of another Joseph son of Francis of the right age born or baptised in Liverpool, or in the censuses.
It seems clear, therefore, that Francis and Esther had had 11 children, of whom 2 had died, or that they were passing off one child as theirs - but at registration not just in the census; describing illegitimate grandchildren as children in the census is not uncommon, but registering them as such would be.
