Thank you all for your input  really helpful . I don't think the Charles William Potts  joiners apprentice in the census is the right one    1911 census  he is a train stoker   on his son's birth certificate he is a railway fireman  Regards

He could have changed professions, after all he was only 17 on that census.  How many young boys want to work on the railways  ;D    :-\

As I previously suggested perhaps the marriage cert is the way to go  ;)  At least then you should have fathers details.

The identity of Maud West has been intriguing me for nearly 20 years.   The James Lidster she was lodging with in 1891 was my 2g grandfather.  She was staying with Arthur Lidster, James's son, in 1901.  Arthur's wife was Ada Kemp.  My g grandparents were Ephraim Kemp and Bethynia Lidster - brother/sister to Arthur/Ada.

Maud West was born 17 March  1888 at 54 Dodsworth Street, Mexborough,to Susan West, with father unknown.  The birth was registered on 17 April 1888.

I am therefore wondering if the S actually stands for Susan in Maud S West ?

Grateful for any interested members comments on the theory below:

FACTS
Johnson West ma Susan Taylor Dec Quarter 1864 Thorne RD
1871 Census – Couple lived at Victoria Terrace, Mexborough (next to Dolcliffe Road on Census return)
Johnson West bu Jun Q 1879 Doncaster RD
1881 Census Susan West living at 49 Dolcliffe Rd, Mexborough
1881 Census Joseph Shepherd and family living at Swinton Road, Mexborough.  Including George Harold Shepherd born 23 4 1868 Mexborough
Birth Certificate – Maud West, mother Susan, father -, 17 Mar 1888 at 54 Dodsworth St, Mexborough
? Susan West bur Dec Q 1890 Barnsley RD
1901 Census lists Maud West as “niece” of Arthur Lidster
1910 GRO has Charles W Potts ma “Maud S West” Sep Q 1910 Rotherham RD
1939 Register has a Maud Potts b 1886 living at Mexborough with family including a daughter born 1920.  GRO has the maiden name for this birth as “Shepherd”.
NOTES
Arthur Lidster’s mother was Susannah Shepherd.  His wife was Ada Kemp, who had no Shepherds in her ancestry.
A Maud Shepherd was born Jun Q 1888 in Rotherham RD but moved to Grimsby and then London.   
Of Susannah Lidster (nee Shepherd)’s male siblings :-
•   Edward was married and living near Keighley in 1881 and near Ripon in 1891
•   George William was living in Swinton throughout the 1880s
•   Henry was living in Mexborough with parents in 1881 but was married and moved to Kimberworth by 1891 where he had a daughter born abt 1883
•   Joseph and family were living at Swinton Road, Mexborough in 1881 but by 1891 had moved to Dodworth. 
•   His family included GEORGE HAROLD SHEPHERD born Mexborough 23 April 1868.  Who cannot be traced on the 1891 Census but by 1901 was living at Garden St, Mexborough

CONCLUSION
George Harold Shepherd must have been the father of Maud Shepherd West
