Hmmmm

Could this be Albert?

Births Jun 1910
COOPER Albert Charles F King's L 4b 290

Births Jun 1908
Cooper Walter Ernest F King's L. 4b 301

To solve this, as suggested you'd ned to order a few certs, but on immediate impressions, she's more than a housekeeper! Looks like they have tried to hide it on the census?

There isn't anything else on the 1911 image to indicate anything suspiscious.

I cannot find a death for Pheobe Elizabeth Farrow either?

I completely agree with you opinion there Flick about buying certs, it's the only way to be sure.

However it would also been good for you to mention that's a free snippet and not the full data from the 1911. That could have been really confusing for the person looking for their ancestors.

If you wish to know without ANY doubt about Robert's parentage, you need to purchase the birth certificate

I can't give the 'full' picture - I don't have a sub, and I can't afford to use my precious credits for other people

Flick didn't give you the complete picture for the 1911 census!

It always helps to look at the complete picture!!

I would say that means they have been having children and not marrying!

Either buy the birth cert - or look for the family in 1911.

One other option you could try

Look on freebmd for a marriage between Farrow and Phoebe Elizabeth - that's assuming the mother was married when she had the boy
