Dickenson family

[Cazza47]

I am trying to find the parents of Beatrice Dickenson born in Arnold in 1891.
In 1901 she appears to be living with her parents John and Mary Dickenson plus siblings George, John and Mary May, in Front Street in Arnold.
In 1891 the same children appear in another house on front street with Henry Dickenson and his wife Mary.
Beatrice marries George Copley in 1909.
I cannot find John and Mary in the 1911 census or Henry and Mary, do you think John and Henry are one and the same person, the adult ages are a little out on the census's but not much!!!

Could the entry in 1901 naming John be a mistake or could there be two families which just happen to live in the same area whoes children have the same name?

im from the Dickenson/Dickinson line from Arnold ,There are many names repeated Henry is one ,  and it is  likely there are two families with same names ..

I think the 1891 & 1901 Dickinsons are the same family
Maybe the father's name was John Henry - or henry John - daughter "may" seems to be using middle name on one census

It looks like the 7day old daughter -unnamed in 1891 could well be beatrice - her birth reg was Jun qtr 1891 - the 1891 census was taken 5 April 1891 - so it seems most likely entry for her

Mary May Dickenson had (at least) 4 illegit children - the 2 surviving ones were William Henry and John Henry - maybe one she named after her father?

Good work Suz.
If he died in 1911 that will be why I cannot find him in the 1911 census.
Think I will have to send for Beatrice's marriage certificate to be sure.
Thank you all.
