I can't see any baptisms for children of Robert and Mary Ann Davies in Garston

I can only see ones for Accrington?

The above Ernest can't be one of 'their' children - on the 1911 census they have had 4 children, all still alive and living with them:

Robert, Rose, Sebina and John.

Hi and thank you I have the 1911 census info and marriage of Robert Davies and Mary Ann Loftus..reason I needed Baptisms is the daughter Rose being born in Salford at 30 Benson Street..Feb 1901 parents are correct the one thing wrong is Robert he is down as a Crane Driver when in fact he is in the Army and left for South Africa in Jan 1901, but would have been home to father Rose going by his Army records...after checking the 1901 for 30 Benson St the number does not exist the street goes up to number 28....

Mary Ann had a sister named Sabina Loftus born Garston 1884...on the 1901 she is living in Salford as a Domestic .I was thinking that maybe this Sabina could be the mother of Rose single girl gets pregnant etc..and sister Mary helps out and takes the baby back to Garston..Robert comes home in 1905..if I could just find Mary in 1901 that would help she is born Garston 1878..

Thank you all Col

Was the Benson St address in Salford, as there 'is' a number 30 on 1901 census but no sign of a Davies or a Loftus there?

Perhaps Robert was a Crane Driver before he joined the army and at the time of Rose's birth.
