The 1911 census states (although crossed off) Hannah had been married 48 years, 5 children but 1 had died prior to 1911. Think the dead one is Elizabeth - as she is with her other daughter in 1911, Matthew & Henry are in Preston, and Thomas B is in Durham.

Wonder if Charles is Matthew's son, or he could have been Elizabeth's:

From freebmd it looks like there were 2 more children born to Wilson/Throup in 1915 & 1916 - the latter in West Ham - Herbert M B Wilson which I doubted. However, he married in Preston and died in Preston, so wonder why they were in West Ham in 1916?

Do you have any idea when or where Matthew & Margaret died?

Yes they did go to west ham for a while. I think Enid and Herbert were born there.

We don't know at the moment when Matthew and Margaret died. We hardly knew anything about johns family before this. I can remember auntie Janey (Jane Throup Wilson) telling me about them all moving to London when she was a young girl and that the most important thing they had to take with them wad the sewing machine.
