	Well, it is a mystery but the info on census is not always correct. - We will just have to keep looking for a birth. She is consistent with Ireland as her birthplace on all but 1871. - 1881, 1891 and 1901 all show Ireland. However, here she is on 1911 and is back to being born in Middlesex (Islington) 1911 Census Household Transcript Search againName: Relationship to head: Marital Status: Years married: Sex: Age in 1911: Occupation: Where born: Report error View Original Page PHELPS, CHARLES HEAD MARRIED M 52 FRUITERER ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, MARGARET WIFE MARRIED 33 F 47 ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, HARRY SON SINGLE M 23 MEAT PORTER ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, WILLIAM SON M 13 SCHOOL ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, HELEN DAUGHTER F 11 SCHOOL ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, GEORGE SON SINGLE M 19 CARMAN ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, WALTER THOMAS SON MARRIED M 6 CARMAN ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, ROSE WIFE MARRIED 4 F 36 ISLINGTON LONDON PHELPS, THOMAS SON M 11 MONTHS BLACKFRIARS S E A household occupies a single original household page.

	Thank you Dea and Erin for all this x I found Margaret and Charles in 1881 with just the two children Catherine (aged1 1880c) and Charles (aged 2 1879c) ( couldn't find in 1891 ... know i know why) .. wonder if charles died young then as not in the 1891 but another younger Charles has appeared . Thanks for all the address info , I'll see i can get any pics Best Wishes x Just printed off census for 1881thanks Erin seen that all the family lived at that address too ! I hadn't looked above - So there's Charles mum and Dad Thankyou ... what a full household I make it 12 family plus the three boarders . Thats got the son Charles who seems to have died before 1891 .. daughter Catherine , who becomes Kate in later census and then Katherine when married ( shes my nans mother) . I'm hoping her marriage certificate will arrive tomorrow
