I just might do that. I don't like to get too attached to an idea before checking with certificates but I'm 80 percent sure this is my Nellie's family. My Nellie is living in Irving Street in 1911 with her husband. The same street that Maria and new husband Charles Benham are living in.
Warwickshire, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Bridgnorth.

Irving Street is also only 2 streets away from Cregoe Street, where Maria was living with her first husband William Harding.
Warwickshire, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Bridgnorth.

Don't take it all at face value, they have a marriage for Maria and Charles as Chester but I think they did not marry until 1915 Birmingham .
