  Notes	In addition to Emma, there is another child who had died at the 1911 Census. There does not appear to be any obvious records in BMD or London baptisms. Restricting the birth and death to Lambeth give Dora Gladys b1904 Benjamin Joseph (given as HAMP) b1905 Alternatively looking at birth registrations with a mother maiden name of WELTON, with soundex switched on, anywhere in the country does not identify another child. I believe that the mother maiden name is unreliable before 1911, though it clearly picks up the other 4 children, so this might be a reason. It might be a mistake, but this seems unlikely. It might have been a stillborn, and not registered, but still something of importance to the parents of course.

• Notes

  There is a Charles Impey who joined the National Union of Railwaymen on 17/09/16, aged 56 as a Horsekeeper for the L&SWR at the Nine Elms 2 branch, and excluded 12/19 for not paying. There is also a Charles Impey who joined same branch 15/09/18, aged 59, also as a Horsekeeper, who died 10/20. Either (or both) could be this person. There is also a record of an assault on a Charles Impey in Sept 1912, but this is north London, so perhaps unlikely
