Just looked at the image for the 1911. It does say Ada, not Edith.

1891 census has George Rathbone living with in laws James and Mary Boote of 16 Ellesmere St, Runcorn.

There are grandchildren Harriet and Arthur aged 2 and 1 listed underneath George who appears to be married to Elizabeth.

1901 census Harriet and Edith aged 13 and 9 are living with Mary Boote now a widow.
George is next door and Arthur aged 11 listed as his son.

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?...=&pid=19772083

George is at 38 Ellesmere St and Mary Boote at 40.

George's wife in 1891 is Elizabeth and in 1901 and 1911 Annie E.

I will send the 1911 image to Joan

Address in 1911 is still 38 Ellesmere St

I am sending the images of 1891, 1901 and 1911 to Joan. Unsure if she has Ancestry.

George Rathbone appears to be living with grandparents in 1881.

and in 1871, with grandparents.

I bet he was the illegitimate son of one of the daughters

Agree that Joan should get the bith cert of Edith to be sure.

No, it's not mistranscribed... definately Ada on the original 1911 census - daughter of George Henry and Annie E ...aged 19 - no occupation given

Strangely, beneath the names of George and Annie, the line below gives another entry which has been crossed out - it looks like "Harris Rathbone"


Thank your Margaret

I still think it's likely that Ada is Edith, but I suppose you would need something to confirm it, e.g. Edith's birth certificate.
