Re the age discrepancy for JT between 1901 and 1911 -

On close inspection of the 1911 image, his age could be 57, but mistranscribed as 37.

Also I'm a bit confused on Thomas/John DOB which is either 1857 on the 1901 or 1874 on the 1911.

Any thoughts?

Thank you all so much for the info which I am trying to get my head round

So Thomas was also known as John T. He may have been married to Fanny Samms? but I can't see a marriage.

Can anyone give me a bit more info from the 1911 for these people

Thomas Stocks age 37
Lily Stocks 26
Dorothy Stocks 12
Beatrice Stocks 11
Alice Stocks 8
Catherine Stocks 7
Lily Stocks 3
Violet Stocks 2
Alfred Foster 23

I believe Thomas Stocks Married Lily Foster and Alfred Foster is her brother.
Lily is too young to be the mother of some of these children so is she as step mother? Was Thomas married before? There are also some British Army pension records for Thomas with some of these children.

Any help much appreciated
