Yes, my hope had been that Jessie was still with them, but thought that that was probably her, so looked for them without her.

Thanks for the time that you've taken to look into this guys.  I've found Jessie in 1901 - she was the one who helped me to track down the whole family line there really as she brought the surname assurance; she's living with the branch that I am related to. 

Took your advice and looked through the children - think I've found Robert but no parents.  It's a mystery!

Thanks again for your help and advice.
