Unknown children discovered – thanks to 1911 census
I was surprised the day I looked up my mother’s great-grandparents on the 1911 census. The data indicated that there were an additional three children who had not survived to 1911. But who were they, when were they born and when did they die? I was not looking forward to trawling through BMD records to locate them!
Well, the first question has been partly answered – two of the three children were a daughter called Ino Kate HOLLANDS, and a son called Uno Frank HOLLANDS. What unusual names!
How did I find them? Via the 1891 census on FindMyPast ! However, the data showed why I may not have found the household previously via Ancestry – the family was listed as HOLLARD! Thanks to FindMyPast’s improved correction submission system, I have now had this corrected.
Now to find child three and when they all died …

The bigger story is the 1891 census on Find My Past.
Indeed. I have now updated the post to indicate that FindMypast have updated the entry, at my request. The 1891 entries on FMP are now correct.
