Venue from UKBMD website
The 1911 census shows that James and Mary had had ten children, two of whom were no longer living. They were probably the 2 not shown here, having been born and died between censuses. (The children shown here are all on the censuses 1881-1911)
Definitely still living in 1911 were those with James and Mary Ann in the census of that year: Ethel, Nellie, James, Stephen and Edwin.
