Maybe. Kathleen was pregnant when John died. She had that baby in April 1919 and then probably another with John Henry in Q4 1920 (though I can't be certain if they were together then).

Oooh, I was hoping my fairly godmother might find the right entry whilst I was slaving over a hot stove! I was getting jittery in case the numbers were going to hop straight over 28990.
The depth for Emily Chatterley was also five feet.
Would they normally put a Catholic with a C of E? Samuel and Kate baptised their Birmingham children C of E, but I wondered if Kathleen Rafferty (who should have nothing to do with Emily!) might have been RC.

Of course - that sounds about right!!
