Leonard Allcock Clarke
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Leonard Allcock Clarke
Death Age: 80
Birth Date: 22 Aug 1914

That would explain the muddle in 1911.
She wouldn't know if she was supposed to enter herself as head, or James, when he wasn't there on census night.


Later children probably Leonard A, in 1914, and Alan A in 1923, both in Mansfield .

Alan A is with Ellen in 1939.

ArgyllGran, I don't think they were separated other than by James working elsewhere in 1911, they had at least one more child after 1911 - still researching that.

ArgyllGran - I think you're right, it fits. One of her sister's did the same thing, acting as housekeeper to a widower miner with kids. I'm guessing neither of them would have got much more than food and board.

Looking at the 1911 census image, I wonder if James and Ellen had separated ?

She seems to have been entered as Mrs JH Clarke, and "married", but the "Mrs" and "married" have both been vigorously crossed out.


ADDED:
On second thoughts, the declaration at the bottom also has "Mrs" crossed out, and just James Henry Clarke left
If they were no longer together, I would have thought the whole name would be obliterated, and her own forenames put in.
Presumably it's Ellen who completed the form.

She also has entered herself as "wife", not "head".
On the whole, I think she's got herself in a muddle as to which bits she changed.

I think this is Ellen in 1901, with her name wrongly given as Grey instead of Guy - enumerator's mistake:

Have I think solved the 1911 census issue having looked at both Maddie's census refs. It looks like John Henry was with his father and brother in Pinxton. I've also established that James was a patient in Mapperley Hospital on the 1939 Reg. The missing item is where Ellen was in 1901 as I can't yet find her on the census. I've tracked down the scan of the marriage reg and the other items referred to above, thanks everyone for pointing me to those and identifying the initial issue that Ellen was born Guy not Bell.

his death ???

and possibly 1939 in hospital

James H Clarke ? ? 1877 Male None Married 1 90

Have just noticed that James isn't listed on the 1939 reg with the family, Ellen isn't listed as a widow.

Maddie, yes i've just come across this odd 1911 census entry, the place of birth on the top line is right for Ellen. The thought crossed my mind that she might have been a suffragette and dissenting from being included, or they simply made a mess of completing the form.

Margaret M, yes, Ann Elizabeth was George's second wife, they married just over 3 mths after he lost his first wife, he had 3 kids 5 and under so would have been desparate for someone to look after them. Ann already had another illegimate daughter living with her parents, although oddly she was still with her grandparents in 1891. I hadn't considered that she might have had a second illegimate child.
