I can't find them in the census but this looks like it might be Michael's birth:-

Name: KEARNS, Michael
Registration District: Prescot
County: Lancashire
Year of Registration: 1895
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's Maiden Name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume No: 8B
Page No: 736

The family sounds as if they may have Irish roots. Could they have gone back to Ireland in 1901?
