Thank you so very much. 

The ones I am having trouble finding is Arthur Hanson, b. 1873 and now I have discovered what appears to be another daughter Edith...both children for Emily Hanson.

Edited to add: Think I have found Arthur...he's down as Arthur William S - think I will stick to freeBMD myself now!

Found the following baptisms:

5th September 1875 at St John's, Fulham
to William Matthew & Emily, of Cedar Road, St James

Edith Mary Tamar Hanson
Gertrude Marion Ellen Hanson

William's occupation: Deputy Superintendent Registrar of Births &c



30th June 1872 at St Matthews, City Road (Islington?)
to William Matthew & Emily, of St John 'o Street Road

Arthur William Sweetland Hanson

William's occupation: Lawyer's Clerk

wow, that latest find is excellent.  Thanks Kgerrard.

The family are a bit sad I think...Arthur, the son of Emily is in an Orphans Asylum in 1881...would love to find out why..am going to try and contact the records office...apparently there are some good records for this particular asylum to be found.

I think the last two are grand daughters
looks like Flor Shepard age 9 and Gerl Hanson age 5

As mum Emily was widowed, presumably left without income, and moved back to Mum and Dads with her 5 yr old dtr, maybe there just wasnt room for, or funds to support, another child too.

Red writing frm peggy - yes, they were grandchildren of the Butterworths - Gertrude Hanson being child of the widowed daughter Emily Hanson nee Butterworth

Thanks Peggy

Yes it looks like that lizdb - just found the other daughter at a different orphanage.  Thankfully they all appear to be reunited on later censuses.  How hard times must have been back then to have to make those kind of choices.

Considering William's occupation (Deputy Superintendent Registrar) at Edith & Gertrude's baptism, I would have thought the family would have been provided for?

It just seems a little strange, to me?
