By 1881 Martha is a widowed dressmaker in Hackney with two boys, Clifford (6) and Alexander (3 - b Scotland).  1891 she has an 18 yr old Andrew (who may be in the workhouse in 1881) and Alexander - still in Hackney

Thanks, I'm not finding a death for Andrew that may be the right age,  perhaps he died in Scotland. I wonder where he was in 1871.
Thanks for the help.
