What was his occupation/birthplace please?

Is Mary a widow in 1921?

No she was married, Thomas only died in 1936 in the Workhouse, she was on the census as visitor and a servant.

Is the daughter you mention Mary Ann Young? 

Sorry bit in the dark here but if you can provide more detailed information for us happy to search further.

The daughter was Lillian who was 14. Mary Ann (Young) was living with her sister at aged 8 in the 1901 ( Mary Ann is my 2nd gr grandmother)

If you are still looking, the workhouse is at RG13/3598 folio 91 page 1.  Richard France is the workhouse master
