The Observor lists Mrs. Wright as having a baby which died 6 days later, not mentioned by Francis Treloar in his diary or other newspapers. If it is true it would be the baby I have assigned to James Shipp on July 1st. I feel Francis would have mentioned such an event as he even named most of the deaths and births.
