Have you got access to ancestry's 1901 census that I posted?
There are various crossings out, and I think there are too many coincidences, including surnames, marriage of other daughter, ages, etc etc.

Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson*

Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson* Report 6 Jul 2011 21:47

Don't think that's them Patchem. The mother is Emily Sharpe born 1831 in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

Could you look for her post 1881 please?
