Thats really helpful - many thanks

I notice there are several 'married' children - but all are shown with their maiden names - ie Lizzie Fowkes, Annie Fowkes etc.....bit of a pain when trying to move forward .........also several crossed out - perhaps John & Susan realised that they were not actually still living at o=home with them ! ? We can only assume that Joe Fowkes is Johns son ( as it doesnt say )?
However, my count makes that 7 children for John & Susan and yet they say 9 born & only 6 living - bit of a puzzle........

Says there are still 6 children living but there are 8 on the form (before crossings out); could Lizzie and Annie be daughters-in-law?

These are the children on the 1901:

Susan Fowkes 11
Annie Fowkes 9
Florry Fowkes 7
Ethel Fowkes 3

Thank you 'Potty' ...........actually, I have Susan, Annie, Florry, Ethel, Lizzie, all daughter of John & Susan...... then John, Henry as sons......... I think Joe may be a grandson perhaps?

Many thanks for looking............

The Joseph in the 1891 would be too old to be the one in the 1911. There is this death:
