For direct comparison with 1911

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
38, Watson Street, St Paul Deptford, Greenwich, London, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
John Warwick Head Married Male 30 1871 Railway Labourer Deptford, Kent, England Transcription
Henrietta Warwick Wife Married Female 32 1869 - Sittingbourne, Kent, England Transcription
Violett Munns Niece Single Female 7 1894 - Deptford, Kent, England Transcription


I can't see any scenario other than that Violet was the illegitimate child of one of Henrietta's sisters.

I'd put money on Maria

Having said that, there should still be a birth registration, and there doesn't appear to be.

You say no parents were listed on the cert of Henrietta's marriage

What info does the cert hold?

These are the details of John's marriage to Henrietta

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Age: 25
Abode: 9 Harts Lane
Spouse: Henrietta Munns
Spouse Age: 26

Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 24 May 1896
Parish: St James the Great, Bethnal Green
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Register Type: Parish Register

Witnesses: Charles Green and E. Tattersall


As Eddie has said the boxes for Father's Name and Occupation for both of them are completely blank on the image.

Edit:

Looking at the image of Marriage Cert there are other areas on it that have been left blank too!

The top part which has the year and parish details

and

More importantly there are no signatures or marks of the married couple at the bottom left hand side

How strange!
