Thanks Dathai - this has been a great help. Do you know if there are any online records available to find out more about his time in the workhouse?

So the father is listed at an address in 1901 as a boarder - 30.3 Church Street would this also have been a type of workhouse?

30 Church St, lodging house

Just did a search on that site there are 2 records which i cant see but give birth range 1891/1893 for an Edward Loftus there are also other records for children born 1890s including a Margaret and Mary on that basis it looks good.

I was helping a friend out with his family tree recently and i  could only find his great grandfathers marriage and the family from that marriage on the census i had no idea of his parents or siblings till fellow Rootschatter Hasta stepped in

Hi Dathai

Do you think its possible this Margaret could be a sister of Edward's found in 1901 cenus? given that Balls yard is in same parish of StMichan's were the Edward and Mary married and had children - age ties in

Every possibility as she appears to be the only one of that name born in that time period.I cant find a marriage for the couple that she's with on the census and she may not be related and may possibly be a ''nurse''child from the workhouse.

Ahh found them Emily Moran is Emily Loftus dtr of Thomas so must be a sister to Edward snr

note the strange comments on Emily's baptism she was born 1867

[dathai]

Possible scenario

Emily's baptism 1871 states her father is dead he was a protestant and mother a catholic

A Thomas Loftus died 1871 age 30 not yet viewable

Thomas Loftus jnr was also baptised Aug 1871 but there does not appear to be a civil cert for him but there is a civil cert for an Edward Loftus in 1871 which unfortunately has the wrong image showing.
Several times i have come across children being baptised in one name and registered in another in this case his mother may have changed her mind and called him Edward after her own father,   just possible.
