I am looking for the children of William & Florence Fenner. My grandmother Doris said that there had been 11 in the family but that only 2 survived to adulthood (Doris & Frederick). In the 1911 census there are four children named
Frederick aged 16
Nellie aged 10
Doris aged 9
Leslie aged 3

Harold Charles was born in 1896
Arthur Lionel was born in 1905
Nelly May was born in 1900
Frederick was baptised in 1894
Doris migrated to Australia in 1968 and died in 1991
As they were all supposed to be born in the Forest I thought I might find them in your registers but no such luck (for me anyway).

Can anyone help?

I'm starting my search , but instinct says "Non conformist" and its confirmed by William Francis's baptism record .......

I wonder if these are the "missing children" 7+4 =11 ??
