Now THAT wouldn't surprise me Marg
If I had to guess then they are probably brother and sister. My mother knows nothing at all about her grandmother having siblings though - it was never mentioned.
I'm also guessing that the scandal is fairly simple. Margaret Lynch had an illegitimate son with Alfred Leon and he was both married and a generation older than her.
I can understand that Margaret managed to avoid both the registration of her son's birth and the 1901 census if she was on tour with her fellow artistes, but where she, Joseph and their father were on previous censuses is beyond me.
Thanks again for your help in this and all of the other contributors to this thread.
