The record for theophilus I am sad to say bears the same status as all the others  which is the awful 'Lunatic'.
I believe that because he was home with his parents until his mother died he may have been 'Downs syndrome' and was unable to care for himself.

On the census she says born circa  1883 but there were no Charlotte Probin/Probyn
born around that time in England she was the only one born between 1871 and 1904. Her birth registered in Newcastle under Lyme in 1878.

Sadly Stanley her son died in 1921.

I may have mislead you in saying the School cottage and  the rectory were in Meriden, although that is the area on 1939 census but on Alberts Will School cottage is in Over Whitacre in the district of Meriden

Sophias death was registered in Meriden Warwickshire

In 1939 census  she is living at School cottage , Meriden with her husband William and Albert V Burton

At the rectory in Meriden in the same census, Edmund Burston, clerk in Holy Orders.

Albert V burton died 1946 death registered Meriden.

I suspect the Ruth possibly said she was born in  Woodville to the enumerator,which is 4 miles from Measham and the place where her birth had to be registered.Woodville is 6 miles from Horningglow.
