Go back to basics, I believe you have been following 2 different families. And as Dea suggested earlier you go back and tell us where you traced them from.

What is the last know fact you know about your family - ie who have you traced them back from? Think you need to go back to this to find out who exactly you are trying to trace.

Is this the 1911 census you are referring to?

If so this looks like the 1901 census for the same family:

which looks to be the same family I posted earlier in the 1891 census


Ernest (James Ernest)
Agnes (Mary Agnes)

Birth for Samuel:
LESTER, SAMUEL COSGROVE
GRO Reference: 1893 S Quarter in HARTLEPOOL Volume 10A Page 115

Lester (Lester) is probably Sarah:

Hi.Because I have been misled by the Ancestry trees,I have been following an assumption that William Lester,c.1856,London had married an Annie Cosgrove,c.1856,Staffs.

This is obviously not the William Lester I was tracing.My original search was the Lester Family in North Ormsby,Middlesbrough in the early 1900's.I was sidetracked by this Annie Cosgrove connection which appears to be a totally different family.

Once again I must apologise for misleading all you researchers.
