Children of Samuel and Lucy Wilson from Elland West Yorkshire. Mary,Charlotte, Jas, Joe, Martha, Effie, Lucy,Elsie. there are 4 other boys but we can't find them. They were all born between 1868 and 1895.

	Paul ... it really isn't clear what you're looking for. If you've found them on a census, could you say what year/years? Is the problem that you can't find the older children after they leave their parents' household? Would it not make sense to give the names of the four other boys you can't find, if that's who you're looking for??

I think Samuel's mother remarried a Luty! 1881 England Census about Samuel Wilson Luty Name: Samuel Wilson Luty Age: 33 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1848 Relation: Son Spouse's Name: Lucy Father's Name: John Mother's Name: Mary Gender: Male Where born: Elland, Yorkshire, England Civil Parish: Elland Cum Greetland County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Street address: Portland Street Condition as to marriage: Married Occupation: Labourer In Iron Works Registration district: Halifax Sub-registration district: Elland ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age John Luty 54 Mary Luty 53 Samuel Wilson Luty 33 Arthur Edward Wilson 4 Charlotte Wilson 11 George Hy.

	And here's the household in 1881, again organized by age: John Luty 54 Mary Luty 53 - grandparents Samuel Wilson Luty 33 - name messed up by Ancestry Lucy Wilson 33 Mary A. Wilson 13 Charlotte Wilson 11 John Luty Wilson 9 George Hy. Wilson 7 Thos. Herbert Wilson 6 Arthur Edward Wilson 4 Joe Emmott Wilson 1 Ann Flather 19 ( Actually, it does say ditto, and does say son -- could be Luty was his stepfather, or yes, Lucy was a Luty. Wouldn't that be awful.) So, doing the math, it's John George Thomas Arthur you're looking for? in 1901? Will wait for confirmation now.
