Default Stanhope Mason Carr and wife Maggie - lost on 1901 censu

Stanhope Carr together with wife Maggie and sons John D and Richard emigrated to Australia in 1911.

Daughter Marjorie Charlotte is with her maternal grandparents in 1911 in Cheltenham where she was born - it seems she was left behind. Stanhope Carr came from there.

She is also on the 1901 census in Nottingham with them.

I can't find Stanhope Mason Carr or Maggie (nee Boswell) anywhere.
Emigration was obviously on his mind as I also found him on the passenger lists in March 1899 on his way to Philadelphia. He obviously came back because he married Maggie in December qr 1899

Where were John and Richard born? I'm struggling to find them.

It seems as though John was not John D as on the passenger list, but John Frederic Stanhope Carr -

It looks as though he was born in Mar qr 1902 Basford.

Do you know where Maggie was born, Elizabeth, or is that what you're trying to find out?

KiteRunner, it's just idle curiousity mainly. Maggie Boswell was born in Mar qr 1881 in Nottingham. I'm really a long way down one of my lines - the Woods from Scotton in Lincolnshire. She is a descendant!

I found Maggie marrying this chap and then they disappear, but I found the Australian connection while googling and even Stanhope Mason Carr's service record in Australia. He was a widower by 1914 and mentions just one child - Richard aged 8. He also mentions his brother Harry (who I think is Harris).

I was just curious to know what happened to them and the children.
There seems to have been Marjorie (left behind), John Frederic Stanhope, Richard and then someone mentions a Patrick (born in Australia??).
Maggie must have died in Australia.

I also found out that Stanhope's father was Jonas King Carr, Deputy Surgeon General, in the army I think.
