Children you listed were: Reginald, George Henry, John Thomas, Thelma, Ethel, Cyril, Dot, Gladis, Patrick. Below is what I found on BMD all born in the District of DONCASTER ( Thurnscoe is in this registration district) Reginald BLADEN b: Qrt Jun 1907 George Henry BLADEN b: Qrt 1909 John Thomas BLADEN b: Qrt 1910 Mothers maiden name recorded for children below is TEECE. Joseph BLADEN b: Qrt Mar 1912 Elsie BLADEN b: Qrt Dec 1913 Elizabeth BLADEN b: Qrt Dec 1915 Emma BLADEN b: Qrt Dec 1919 You also said the John Thomas BLADEN died in the war I cannot find any record for John Thomas dying during the war but I did find a record for Joseph BLADEN dying. Commonwealth War Graves Commission Joseph BLADEN, Serjeant, Royal Artillery, 26 Medium Regt, age: 33, died: 4/04/1945, Serial No: 805800, Son of George & Emma Bladen, husband of Ethel Bladen of Thurnscoe Yorkshire. Cemetery: Argenta Gap War Here is a suggestion: Some of the names of the children you have list for George and Emma are actually son and daugther in laws. eg: Ethel was married to Joseph Bladen (as stated in CWGC data above) Cyril was married to Elsie Bladen (birth record)also found a marriage in Doncaster for Elsie Bladen marrying Cyril Beddoes 1933. At a guess I would say that the children I have listed above are George and Emma's may have been a few more that I have not found. If you obtained information about there children from family it would be easy to mix up who is who as the would have all been known as uncle cyril or auntie ethel. Let me know what you think.
