So here is the family in 1901
and it looks like the original Clara Green in 1881 must have died because in 1901 they have another Clara Green who is 11 years old.
Also going back to the 1891 census there is not two Charles H Green's 2 and 1 and 1/2 only the two year old and then on the next page is the entry for Green female less than 1 month old..who is most probably your Clara Green.

gay thankyou ,

the second one in 1901 does seem to be correct ,the 1891 not sure with isabella dob.being way out .why would they start calling clara, emily , unless there were 2 children emily and clara .i do now think though that the first clara did die age 14 in 1895,which would explain where she dissapeared to ;

ampaol Report 7 Sep 2008 15:58

pam ,thankyou ;this marriage for clara green could be correct if the second clara born 1891, it would be around that time if she wed ..i am begining to think the first clara did die 1895 ..

Hi there, i don't think our Greens are related, but having read through your posts and if you haven't already solved the puzzle, i thought it might be worth considering that Bella was just staying with her mum on the night of the 1881 census, maybe you could do an address search if you have one for 1871 or 1901 to see if James was home.
