On this entry we have Annie as head of household 31 not married, then the rest of the household are all sons and daughter all too old to be Annie’s sons and daughter. Is Annie a sister rather than a step mother?

The family are all living together in 1911 as siblings

Thanks never thought to look at 1911. Unusual for none of them to be married.

Yes I thought that which was why I searched for Samuel.  He appears to have switched ages with his sister Annie and was listed as the head of the household!

It’s not obvious who the parents where.

If William and Annie where the parents they would both be in their late forties/fifties when these children where born. I was trying to find who my great grandmother’s mother was and noticed this family. I think they will be connected but do not know how. I think I am going to try and do a spreadsheet of all these Tyrone Aitchisons.

Samuel granted administration of William’s estate. Doesn’t give a relationship though.
