Dupuis, widower, age 62, Retired British Consul for the Canary Islands, born London, Middlesex. Niece Evelyn M. J. Dupuis, single, age 25, born Pocklington. 4 servants. [This is complicated! We have Reginald Silburn and his future wife Mary Dupuis in the same household 11 years before they marry. Also we have Reginald’s mother Annie [not Emma!], his step father Edward Fothergill and Evelyn’s father Joseph Dupuis. Here’s where it gets complicated Joseph Dupuis is listed as Edward Fothergill’s or possibly his wife Annie’s brother in law. Yet Joseph Dupuis’ deceased wife’s last name was Strickland, not Fothergill, or Silburn, or Bolleter! Could Joseph Dupuis’ wife, Julia Lilly Strickland have a brother or sister who married a Fothergill, Silburn or Bolleter?]
