This is as much information as I have at this point regarding births.  I can only 
presume there were several still births or infants who died when they 
were exceedingly young given that multiple names appear in the same 
year according to Census findings.

  Death

Presently, I only know that Walter Ralph died
during the 1920's.  I've been told he died during the
Spanish influence epidemic of 1918 but on the declaration
made by his wife in 1922 it states that she is
coming to 'join her husband.'  By 1928 she is a widow.
