No wonder they can't be found on the 1911 census

Perhaps a birth cert is required.............unless Lily can remember her mother's first name

Did you have anything other than the surnames on which to base the assumption about the 1911 marriage?

The suggestion about a previous marriage for the mother may not now be so unlikely.

Agree with Maureen that Arthur Platt married Clara as they are on 1911 in Sheffield
Image shows married under one year


1911 has a George Wilson b1889 Sheffield married to Alice and again that shows married under 1 year

I don't think the 1911 marriage is the one you want. It looks to me as though Clara HOBSON married Arthur PLATT and George WILSON married Alice MARTIN.

Thanks - I think a visit to Lilly the daughter born 1918 is the best way forward

Can't even look for them in 1901 until we have more facts.

There are three births for Clara Hobson in Sheffield within the year 1880/1

Similarly, more than one birth for George A Robson, including one in 1878 which seems more feasible, somehow

The best piece of info at the moment would be when the father died.............and where.

I have seen all the births for Wilson in Sheffield to mothers maiden name of Hobson
Going to ring Lily the daughter later and ask about other siblings

There are many Wilson births with mother's maiden name Hobson in Sheffield on FreeBMD starting in 1911 but too many to be the same family.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

No sorry I don't - need to send off for the marriage certificate and find out their fathers in order to progress

MargaretM Report 4 Mar 2015 17:02

Her maiden name was Hobson according to the twins birth:

Thanks Jacqueline - I think I may need to ask more questions to the daughter to see if she can remember anymore - thanks again

I posted the marriage at 16.37....................had to look for it to know if they would have been married at the time of the census

Married Wilson - surviving daughters maiden name is Wilson

Jacqueline Report 4 Mar 2015 16:51

When did George die?

Clara couldn't have been married before.......she married as Hobson, and that's the MMN on the births

Have you done any research?
