Adopted son 1891 in Scotland and in 1901 he's listed as a visitor to the family in Middlesbrough. And then in 1911 is that him as Harry Davis - listed as son ??

2 x Henry Blackwell birth registrations 1889 - one in Blackfriars RD, Glasgow and the other Kinning Park RD, Glasgow

Also - Florence Jones Davis listed on the transcription as 2 year old daughter. The image shows her as Florence Jones only - daughter.

The original also states that Mrs E Davis has been married 30 years, had 10 children of whom 2 have died.

Rachel is listed as mother in 1891 census as posted above by safc, whereas you Greyghost lists her as Mary Elizabeth nee Milburn.

Just to add to the confusion, I have just looked up Samuel's brother - Leonard Maurice Davies on 1911 census again listed above by safc, and there the mothers maiden name is Friedman !!

Am a bit confused here.

EDIT - just looked up possible marriage of parents -

Jacob Davies marries Rachel Friedman in Liverpool in June quarter 1888.
