Hi Julie

I knew about 4 children:
Susan 1890, Annie 1892, Florry 1894 &
Ethel 1898.

The two children that you have found may be children of another Fowkes family member & perhaps not John & Susan?? Perhaps we can find them in the 1901 census?

I am really trying to find Susans surname.
Thanks for your hel
