Valda, you're good!!
Christopher Booker is written as Christopher Oliver on the certificates I have but maybe that was a choice he made to change his middle name. The second marriage certificate reads Agnes is a widow, I also thought it strange she reverted to her maiden name. When her second husband died in 1917 she kept his name until her death in 1950. She didn't have much luck with husbands!
I have the birth record of the second child but the census for 1911 is not available,is it? My guess is she was fostered out as a young baby and later Agnes got her back. She remained in service as far as I know.
Thanks for your help
