As a result of my studies into the Shrosbree family name , I have acquired sufficient data to begin a project on mapping the Shrosbrees through their history.
It has been and continues to be a lengthy process of indexing and re-indexing all the available data in the various indices such as the Free B.M.D the B.M.D and the I.G.I and Census returns and our own family tree .
The resulting searchable database , links children to parents,parents to spouse,birth,marriage , death dates and locations . some 600 plus records for these events .
It is now possible to plot,map, and understand the origins and make up of the wider Shrosbree family,and extract data in a meaningful way which family tree' programmes generally cannot.
One result of this, is that we can now answer some of the missing persons questions.
From the data collected so far it would appear that nearly over third [36%] of the Shrosbree children born between 1838-1901 did not survive their first year ! a further 25 children did not reach the age of ten ! This means that they slipped through the census net. Another three died in their early teens . Altogether 77 Shrosbrees or 40% of the children did not make it past their teens. this data is to comparable with the national statistics.
Sadly we can also see which families lost the most children and in what years ,which is useful when comparing with the national pattern for illnesses etc.
