Emma, One way would be to look for Mary's death and see if there is a child with the same surname recorded in the same quarter in the same registration district. I did this for you and unfortunately there isn't, so she didn't die at the same time as her child. The actual quarter by the way is Apr/Jun 1906. The death registers do give the age of the person, so if you were to check all the Stevenson deaths in Leicester from 1901 to 1906 for a child of the correct age then this should give you a short list of names. Sometimes you can be lucky with an unusual or family Christian name which will identify a specific child. Any result will never be 100% accurate, but it all depends on how much you want/need accurate info for indirect family members. As I'm sure you know, there are some people where it is just too time consuming and too costly to trace. Are you actually sure that the child was born after 1901? The 1911 census in showing how many children had died does not imply that they were born and died since 1901. It could have been in any mid-census period since the couple married.

When I looked at the 1911 entry for my maternal grandmother Ethel Stevenson, she was, as I expected, shown as age 10, living on Rendell Road with her father John James Adkins Stevenson and her grandparents. Her mother Mary Elisabeth, nee Martin, died in 1906. What I hadn't expected was to see that John had apparently had 2 children, of which only Ethel was living. As Ethel is the only one on the 1901 census, this other child must have been born - and died - between 1901 and 1911. Could it be that Mary died in childbirth? I always thought she died in the TB epidemic, could it be that the child did as well? I know I probably need to order Mary's death certificate but can SKS advise me on how to find out more about this 2nd child? I've looked in the birth records but they don't list mother's maiden name at this time like they do later on. All help appreciated. Thanks!

Many Thanks to Jack Allen and Nivard Ovington who helped with my GAUNT query at Leicester Welford Road NBI . Both of you greatly helped me to rule out the one I'm looking for. Jack, the 3 GAUNT you found at Welford Rd seem to be the same family that Nivard found for me on the 1911 census. At 72 Paget Road in 1911 GAUNT William 68 shoemaker Rocester Stafford Louisa 65 Whetgrave Stafford Louisa dau 33 Boxmaker Stafford Welford Road Cemetery records show William GAUNT buried February 19 1931 - aged 87 Louisa GAUNT buried January 25 1923 - aged 76 Louisa GAUNT buried 27 June 1917 - aged 39 It looks to me that these 3 GAUNT on the 1911 are the same family.( same 1911 address) My problem could be in the different names Louisa went by. She was born in Braunston Rutland 5th JAN 1880. Louisa Atton Stanger. but was christened Fanny Louisa and mostly known as Fanny or Fanni. She married John STEVENS at Waltham Leics 11 June 1904. In 1914 a widow she married Arthur Horace GAUNT born 1880 a widower at Worksop Notts. 24th OCT 1914. Free bmd have death Arthur GAUNT age 71 Worksop Notts MAR 1951 exact age. But I can't find any death for wife Louisa or Fanny Fanni in Notts Leics or anywhere. All the best for now Regards Ken

I cannot help with the name RIMMINGTON but if your grandmother played hockey. I do have a photo of the 1937 LRI Ladies Hockey Team in which my mother was a member. Her name was Dorothy HARRIS. I am sure I had a fairly recent copy of the Nursing Journal of the LRI but cannot immediately find it - sorry! Must be in another box somewhere. My mother was born in 1914, 2 years before your grandmother, and she went to Coalville Grammar School. Mum started her training at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 1932 after a year of probationary nursing at Woodhouse Eaves Convalescent Home. After training, Mum was moved to the Fielding Johnston Hospital until 1940 when she married my father. During the war and while Dad was overseas, Mum returned to nursing at the Norwich Fever Hospital for 2 years followed by industrial nursing in a factory in Grantham. Not much help to you but I might suggest you contact someone at LRI. They have an archive section.
