I have 10 children for Thomas Trigg & Sophia nee Baldwin in my Family Tree, and this does not include Bertha. The first baptism I have is for Esau 25 Jun 1865.

Please note the census detail I posted last time includes the 1861Census showing Thomas Trigg & Sophia, this either means they were living together in 1861 or there is another Thomas Trigg & Sophia.

Note also that I have a Beata baptised 12 November 1869. This translates to the Beatrice shown in the 1881 Census entry. But no Esau or Bertha in 1881. I cannot find baptisms for all of the children I have for Thomas & Sophia. My guess is that Esau & Bertha subsequently died young and it is for that reason they were baptised. I have found this with other families. The death rate for infants was great in those days.

The children I have are Esau 1865, Rhoda 1868, Beata 1869, Emily 1872, Nora 1874, Othela 1878, Edith 1879, Edward 1883, Blanch 1887, Thomas Edward 1889.

A trawl through the deaths would be interesting.
