"Pansy" may have been born as the rather less floral Vera Eva W[enman] HUGHES (birth reg Jun qtr 1888 Fulham, baptised 27 May 1888 Shepherds Bush with birthdate given as 17 March 1888 - parents Joseph Henry & Alice Eliza). 

The 1901 census shows her with father Joseph H and stepmother (?) Eva in Chiswick (Vera's birthplace given as Shepherds Bush): RG13/1199/30/51.

Good finds, avm.

Looks like Pansy changed her age [a bit] as well as her name!!

I've looked on the 1911 census index but can't find her or an Ernest W.

Perhaps he was one of those chaps who went by his middle name?
