Derbyshire / Re: Any info on Edith Sitwell's butler, John Robins

Hi, my great-grandmother was Violet Robins, the younger sister of John. I have been researching the family history and found a few bits on the Internet regarding him. I will include the screenshot. My great nan Violet was in no way cantankerous, she was lovely and always having a laugh.
She started a naughty family tradition (that I admit to doing
), if you received bad service in a restaurant or cafe, then she would take something! Normally salt and pepper shakers, cups and cutlery
She died when I was quite young but I have heard many fond stories about her.
She also liked to have a gamble and would hide her winnings all over the place, like under the floorboards!

She would have been 14 at the time and the children are all listed in age order...so dont think the age was meant for the other children

Census and Resource Discussion / Age confusion on census
« on: Tuesday 05 February 19 16:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi, i have recently been looking into my family history and have stumbled across something very confusing. I know peoples ages can be out by a few years etc but my grandads aunt Annie Florence Baker is listed as 3 in the 1901 census which is correct and then in the 1911 census she is listed as 14 and then that is crossed out and replaced with age 3?
does this mean she died at age 3 and they wanted to include her in 1911 census??
