The surname definitely looks like Mateer but the forename seems to end in “osh”?

Welcome to rootschat from me too   :)

The person filling in the form seems to have difficulty with first names.

ok no worries - thanks!! the 1911 census doesnt make alot of sense to me in general to be fair lol. i cant find any other record for a joseph mateer anywhere. no birth record etc, only on other trees in ancestry. i have also come across a john on other trees born 2 years after joseph but again no records

Could the surname be a version of McTeer, which is a real name?

As the children are Eliza's grandchildren it's possible not all of them are Edwards.
Do you know any of Edward's siblings.
A Sarah Mateer had a male child in March 1909.

Was Edward's wife Catherine Mulholland, late Gillespie?
