Orchard place running roughly N-S

I think Oriental terrace is roughly E-W at end of Charlotte Street

No sorry, Oriental T is further west, Northern  edge of Hartley University College. You can see it if you overlay with Google satellite hybrid map

Does it read 17 children born and 6 still living - which should make 11 died?

I puzzled over that... I wondered if she counted stillbirths in the "children that have died" column. 

Going back to the original family, is there anything else we can help with? The two questions implied are- their actual children and mother's maiden name?

[LizzieL]

Thank-you for that.  She could have been still married to someone else, yes.

If that child does belong to the neighbour I wonder where their surviving child was and why not with them.  Oh, well.

What age would the surviving child be? I can see one  called William in 1901 with what looks to be the same Martha. He is 7, so would be about 17 in 1911, old enough to live independently, or be working away from home on census night.

The William in 1901 could also have died and 2 more children born between 1901 and 1911.

I had hoped that even if that William was registered under a different surname he might have been baptised somewhere with 'correct' parents or just Martha but not getting anywhere.

It does not matter, I was just being side-tracked.

Thank-you

I'm thinking this migt be him in 1901 with his wife Martha and son William..Apologies if you know a bout it.

That said, there is a census that could be the above William, living with his father (Mr INSTANCE...), a widower. (Any chance your people didn't marry because she was already married...?)

The William Instance next door with his father has been added in a different hand. So it does look as if he moved between households, and there was a bit of confusion where he was on census night. Or he was really with Mrs Dickson, but they thought he ought to be listed with his father.

A relative of mine was on two census returns in 1871. He was down as being at his parents' and also with his in-laws (with his wife).
