A child who was aged EIGHT on 1911 census would not have had her birth registered in the first qtr of 1904

Please don't 'think' when people were born, and what their names were..................you need to have accurate info to do a family tree properly

Polly was often used as a diminutive for Mary..........

Also, don't assume that everyone actually got married.............
