Default Twickenham birth records

Anyone familiar with Twickenham birth records, we have two children missing who obviously died between censuses.

The cildren we have are
James 20 June 1875
Frances Rosa 1878
Emily Sarah 27 Feb 1882
William Ernest 25 Nov 1883
Eliza 1891
Florence Charlotte 3 Oct 14

There is a gap between 1878 & 1882 and again 1883 - 1891

Parents are Seth Cook (b Sheet Hants and Eliza Adams (Liss, Hants) but their children were all born in Twickenham.

I hope someone can help.

This might be one of the children (Twickenham's in the Brentford registration district):

Births Jun 1888
COOK Henry Seth Brentford 3a 71

Deaths Jun 1889
COOK Henry Seth 1 Brentford 3a 39

Ancestry has his burial, but my subscription's lapsed, so I can't check the details.

Thanks for that Janet.

At least we found one deceased son. The father had stipulated he had 8 children and both of us only had 6.

This doesn't help with your query, but these are the baps recorded at St Mary the Virgin in Twickenham:

James bap 1 Aug 1875 address Twickenham, father's occ Railway Porter

Frances Rosa 7 Oct 1877 (not 1878) ditto for rest of info

Emily Sarah 7 May 1882 ditto occ Porter

and this one at Holy Trinity Twickenham:

William Ernest 23 Jan 1884 (born 25 Dec 1883) address 2 Charlotte Cottages, Talbot Road, occ Railway Servant

The burial Janet posted has the address Talbot Road.

None of the other burials I looked at had helpful addresses, though I suppose you might be able to eliminate some by looking to see where other Cook families were living on the 1881/1891 census, plus comparing their birth registration Qs with the ones you know are Seth and Eliza's children. You'd have to be very lucky to eliminate all but one though!!

Daniel, the father of the children in question had some children born in Sheet, but some also in Petersfield. That seems to be the only place. His wife Sally was born Harting, Sussex tho I've not seen any children born there.

Do you mean Daniel is Seth's father?

You have listed six children and Mary found Henry Seth who died, but the 1911 census states the family had eight children with seven surviving (not six) and only one dec'd.

Oh I confused you there, I meant Daniel the father of the children, should have read "father of Seth" Sorry
