It has been suggested that they also had another daughter, Beatrice, and a son.
There is a birth Jun 1906 Earnshaw Beatrice Dewsbury 9b 549 - unlikely based on 1911 census
Too many others to make any guess at a son
From 1911 census it is likely that they only ever had one child, Nellie
There are no likely births (ie in Birstall where the family lived for the rest of their lives)
In his will there is only reference to wife Lois and daughter Nellie. Likely only had one daughter (or at least only one who survived)
