Henry and Sarah's children - final tally

The last accessible census, filled out by Sarah, shows that she and Henry had eleven children 'born alive'; of those eleven, eight were still living early in 1911.

By searching the GRO online for Rolfe births in the Newbury registration district with mother's maiden name Bailey we arrive at ten births between 1877 and 1898. The convention of going home to mother for the first confinement appears to have been followed by Sarah and consequetly the first child, Alfred Thomas born in 1876, had his birth registered in Hungerford. The full list of children: 

1. 1876 Alfred Thomas
2. 1877 Agnes May
3. 1878 Thomas
4. 1880 Edith Flossie
5. 1881 Henry Stephen
6. 1883 Annie Julia
7. 1885 William James
8. 1888 Julia
9. 1891 Philip Lewis
10. 1896 Winifred Annie
11. 1898 Alice Mabel (showing as Mabel Alice on her marriage certificate) 

Thomas and Winifred both died under a year old and although the death registration for Annie Julia has not yet been found I think it is very probable that she also died as a baby. Of the other eight children all survived to adulthood, all married, with only Agnes May's marriage details still to be discovered.
