I like Tilly/Lilly for the job too at first glance, anyway -- I didn't mean to be adopting Matilda Julia who married Fred, just to sort her out so we could take a good look at her. ;)

(I just don't always rely on census or death ages, since a woman older than her husband was often wont to make major adjustments to her age.)

How about the "Lilly" in 1901 is really a contemporary misreading of the more unusual "Tilly"? What was the infant daughter Lilly Pratt's name, in fact?

Dear Janey,

The daughter is actually another Matilda, born in Addey Street, Deptford on 23rd May 1898. And also incidentaly whilst checking these records, I noticed that on this birth certificate the mother is stated as Matilda Pratt, formerly Lawrence, but on the sons birth certificate she is down as Matilda Julia Pratt formerly Lawrence. They moved from Deptford down to Sutton at Hone Swanley by the time the son, William Henry was born (11.05.1900), where they spent some years in a workhouse before coming back up to Deptford. There is a baptism record for William Henry in Crockenhill, but I could find no trace of a baptism for Matilda.
