Could someone check these three children for me in 1911 please, family rumour says one of them drowned in the Canal at Old Hill :o

1901 Wrights Lane Old Hill
James Hughes born 1875 Netherton Dudley
Mary Jane Hughes 1875 West Brom
Samuel 1894 Old Hill
Ernest 1896 Old Hill
Eunice (Unice) 1901 Old Hill

Just wondered if one of them is missing in 1911 :o

Many thanks from Linell.
