This is for a friend. She says she has seen the 1911 census and it said they had 6 children all living. They married in 1878 and wife is Ann Maria nee Beech. We have the marriage date but not the cert.

Can anyone find this family on the 1881, 1891 and 1911 please?

I have tried a few variations on the name and looked for the children with no luck at all. It must be mistrascribed if they are there at all.

Thanks in advance for anyone looking.
