hi I am trying to trace my husbads family from the East End of London Mary Rosina Whitehead Married to Charles Horsfall may have also been called Francis they married in 1905 I know they had one child at least called Charles as well but the family believe there were other siblings but cant find any trace at the moment we believe they all came from the Bethnal Green area but Charles Srn may have originated from Yorkshire the Marsham area if this rings a bell please contact just hitting brick walls at the moment regards

hi
1901 census.

18 Diss Street Bethnal Green
Nathaniel Whitehead age 41 dock worker born Bethnal Green.
Jane age 39
Jane age 19
MARY age 15
Harry age 13
Charles age 11
Kitty age 8
Violet age 6
Edward age 4
John age 1

This looks like Mary's family before she married.
After the last census you will have to trawl through all the B.M.D's to find their children

Don't know if this one fits, but its the only birth reg I can find in Masham (not Marsham) Yorks where the age would fit those you have found on the census. If it is the right one his full family can be seen on the free transcription of 1881 census.
Births Jun 1877
