Details from PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 22 Mar 2018)
Although the information was not required for a widow and was struck through, the 1911 census indicates that Allen and Emma had had five children, two of whom had by then died. Joe was clearly one of the latter, the 3 living presumably the other 3 shown here. The other who died was probably born and died between the same two censuses, so doesn't appear in any, and as there was clearly more than one Haigh = Gibson couple having children in Huddersfield RD at this time it is difficult to know who the other one was.
