In the 1901 the family name has been transcribed as Kea which is completely understandable when you see the writing!  I'm not sure I have read the occupations correctly - perhaps someone else will have a look at the page for you.

1901 - RG13/2679, folio 158, p 43.
81 Bush Street, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.

Mary A Rea, Head, W, 49, b. Stodderton, Shropshire.
Charles Rea, Son, S, 24, Coal Porter(?), b. Market Drayton.
William Rea, Son, 23, Coal Porter(?), b. Market Drayton.
Alfred Rea, Son, 13, b. Market Drayton.
John Rea, Son, 9, b. Market Drayton.
Fred Rea, Son, 6, b. Market Drayton.
William Robinson, Boarder, S, 39, Coal Porter(?), b. Market Drayton.
Samuel Gresty, Boarder, S, 36, General labourer, b. Nantwich, Cheshire.

Betsy married William Henry S Clarke in Mar qr 1892, Market Drayton, Vol 6a, p 1041 and, like Mary, they were in Wolverhampton by 1901 - but they've been lots of places inbetween, judging by the birth places of the boys! 

It's the first time I have seen the "Relation to Head of Family" left blank for the children in a family.  Everyone else on the page has their relationship listed except these four boys.  Very strange.

RG13/2680, folio 76, p 33.
23 Field Street, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.

William Clarke, Head, M, 31, Railway Porter, b.  Macclesfield, Cheshire.
Betsy Clarke, Wife, M, 27, b. Stourbridge, Worcs.
Fred Clarke, 7, b. Heaton Norris, Lancs.
William Clarke, 5, b. Stockport, Cheshire.
Charles Clarke, 3, b. Dewsbury, Yorks.
Frank Clarke, 10mths, b. Wolverhampton, Staffs.
