Florence Amelia Ward b c 1890

In the birth indexes is a Florence Amelia Ward Mar q 1891 monmouth. I was hoping she may be twin to my Elizabeth Ward b 13/12/1890 (mother Elizabeth, no father named), listed under the same year, quarter, Vol and page number as Florence.

However I have found a possible for Florence on the 1891 census with William and Emily as parents RG12; Piece: 4339; Folio 96; Page 19

Name Age
William Ward 30
Emily Ward 27
William G Ward 6
Anne L Ward 4
Emily E Ward 2
Florence A Ward 3/12

by 1901 Florence is not with them but I can't see a death anywhere
RG13; Piece: 4922; Folio: 130; Page: 2.

Name Age
William Ward 41
Emily Ward 38
Annie Ward 14
Emily E Ward 12
Esther H Ward 8
Sydney Ward 6
Jessie C Ward 4
James H Ward 7 months

juat want to find out what happened to her so I can rule out that she is not mine. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Florence Amelia Ward is my grandmother and she did not have a sister Elizabeth and she did not have a twin. The family you have listed with the Father william and the mother Emily with florence at 3 months old is my great grandfather and great grandmother. William died in the pits in 1906. My grandmother Florence was born on the 4 jan 1891

Yes thanks Slowhands, that's my family :)

this is all connection to my previous threads about her mother Elizabeth Howell nee Ward listing on the 1911 census that she had 14 children.. I know she was carrying another at the time, making it 15. I had 12 including the one she is carrying so I am still missing 3 !

determined to find them.. I wonder about stillbirth's though?.. would they have been registered... she wasn't one for getting them baptised until a couple in 1896 Gladys and Lizzie who seem to have been baptised the same day as 3 of her brother's and sisters who were baptised as older children.

Think I am also going to have to check that none of her siblings were actually her children but may hve been brought up by her parents.. yikes..
