Hi Jim

Here are a few more thoughts! It might be that the Oliver in question may be shown as Thomas O on the:

1871 census
Person: YEMM, Thomas O
Address: Blakeney Hill, East Dean
YEMM, Thomas Head M 39 1832 Gloucestershire
YEMM, Eliza Wife F 28 1843 Gloucestershire
YEMM, Sydney Son M 8 1863 Gloucestershire
YEMM, Thomas O Son M 2 1869 Gloucestershire

and just called Oliver on the:

1881 census
Person: YEMM, Thomas
Address: ?, East Dean
YEMM, Thomas Head Widower M 52 1829 Coal Miner Blakeney Hill Gloucestershire
YEMM, Sydney Son Single M 18 1863 Coal Miner Blakeney Hill Gloucestershire
YEMM, Oliver Son Single M 12 1869 Scholar Blakeney Hill Gloucestershire
YEMM, Edith Daughter Single F 9 1872 Scholar Blakeney Hill Gloucestershire
MOULTON, Charlotte Servant Widow F 56 1825 Housekeeper (Dom) Blakeney Hill Gloucestershire
MOULTON, Thomas W Boarder Single M 14 1867 Coal Miner St Briavels Gloucestershire

With birth details:

Name: YEMM, Thomas Oliver
Registration District: Westbury on Severn
County: Gloucestershire
Year of Registration: 1869
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's Maiden Name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume No: 6A
Page No: 235

Here are a few other points for the puzzle!

In addition to Frank and Ernest Joseph, the FOD PRs show that Clara and Arthur YEMM also died very young. Possiblybly a factor behind the parents move to Nottingham. Although the 1911 census for Thomas 1846 & Eliza 1845 in Worksop has 'none' under the column for children born alive.

There is a 1911 census for Oliver & Sydney both born in Blakeney which you may have seen.
