Hi Frances
On the 1901 census shown by Dee and Andy;
John is a warp dresser and they live at 2 Hampton Rd Heysham.
The three children were all born in Bradford.
They are described as sons and daughter. I see from your thread that John and Clara married in 1898.
I will have a peek on the 1911
Regards Joan

Thanks for that. If they are the right couple they must have had their children before getting married or could it have been his second marriage - hmmmm

In 1898 Clara Leonora Leach married John William Craven in Bradford.
From the 1901 single line census I have found a Clara Craven 1868 and John Craven 1862 both in Heysham. She was born in Liverpool, which the census also confirms.
Please can anybody tell me if the are living together married and are there any children. I cannot see them at all in the 1911.

Many thanks,
Frances
