Does she mean Josiah Harris and Sarah Leach are still alive in 1911 but not living with her? And by 1911 Ruth had died, age 1. so there must be another child somewhere still alive that we havent found! Suzanne

	In 1891 the Susannah and Maria are in Salford Workhouse. In 1901 they are living with their mother and Josiah Davenport.
