In piecing together the events in this family, and death of Joseph TODD, it is useful to identify the last child born to Joseph.
Lillian M TODD b. 1898 and Violet TODD b. 1901 are both listed with parents Joseph and Elizabeth. How are you identifying them as being born to John Donald FRANKLIN?
Do you have birth details for John / Jack and Emily Hilda....how are they named in the BDM index?
