I am trying to find out what happened to this couples children. They had ten children, one of them my grandmother Hilda Whitaker. Sadly I have no knowledge of rest of family and would like to know if they married/had children, when they died. I got the following from the 1911 census:

Alfred Whitaker(born wilsden) aged 44 married 19yrs to Lydia Moorhouse(born in Sheffield). Children:
Lillian Whitaker age 18 weaver born in Keighley .
Alice Ann age 16 spinner born Keighley
Nellie age 14 spinner born Sheffield
Mary Elizabeth age 12 spinner born in Sheffield
Christopher K. age 10 School born in sheffield
Robert Alfred age 8 born in Sheffield
Grace age 5 born in Sheffield
Hilda age 4 born in Keighley
Ernest age 2 born in Keighley
Albert Edward 4 months born in Keighley.

Hilda married Joseph Richmond and died in 1942.
