Helen Violet and Cyril Asquith's mother had sadly died in 1891. Very sharp-eyed of you though! Amy Hi Lesley,

Emma was actually Asquith’s second wife and the mother of the youngest two children on the 1911 census return. Helen Violet and Cyril Asquith’s mother had sadly died in 1891.

Very sharp-eyed of you though!

Amy

Did he think that the form was asking how many were male and how many female?
