.........................could very well be, then that mother did die and father couldn't look after the girls on his own????

NOTE:-
Just realised that the girls above are living Reg.Dist. Brentford and the death for mother Alice is also Reg.Dist. Brentford, so it all seems to fit together nicely, so well worth looking into more closely.

Good afternoon all,
Well after years of searching for James Thomas Norris born 1874 from Greenwich Kent in the 1911 census I have finally found him!!!
I found him on Ancestry under birth place " Harlton London " but unfortunately his wife Alice Norris born Stanton 1877 from Deptford and their son James Thomas Norris born 1901 remain aloof!
Any help would be so welcomed.
My thanks for your time in reading my thread,
Kind regards Ann.
