thanks everyone for all of ur help, it has helped alot

The reason i was unsure of Ernest is that the Ancestry version of Ernest and Lena's marriage Reg gives his surname as CAM.

Looking back at the original image of the 1901 census, it looks like the enumerator has corrected the surname to read CARN.

So it looks like we are on the right track for Ernest CARN.
