The census below does not fit well with the later two censuses above without some form of corroboration. It is feasible that John's age in the 1911 census was a typo in transcription or an original mistake, so there should be a John in the census below who was three years younger than Thomas and older than the Richard listed. Without explaining that, and the difference in location, this is probably NOT the same family. In addition, spelling of the name should have had less variability by 1890s than earlier in the century. Note that Margaret McDon*something was not an uncommon name combination at the time.
