Looking for info on family of Henry Pitt and Fanny Moseley.
They are listed in the 1901 Census with two sons and two daughters. The daughters are both listed at 19 but the record shows Annie at 19 and Lucie at 17. Sons are Joseph and Leopold.
I am unable to find the family in the 1891 Census or a birth record for Lucie. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

William Son 14 Page
Charles Son 13 Scholar
Samuel Son 12 " "

I also found this on the IGI,
Samuel PITT
Birth: 16 MAR 1878 Dublin, Ireland
Father: Henry PITT
Mother: Fanny Mosely PITT
Looking at the different birthplaces of the oldest children I wonder if Henry was in the army before settling in Brighton :-\
Do you have their marriage cert. ?
Henry PITT Mar Q 1873 Brighton 2b 258
Fanny Mosely with same details.
which might confirm this and/or help find Henry in earlier censuses.
