The 1891 census has them all (plus 2 girls)in Baildon, West Yorkshire.

The correct surname is Kershaw. He (Hugh aged 3) was living with his 4 siblings, father, a fellmonger, Hugh Kershaw 33 born in Windsford and mother Mary Alice Bramham 30 born in Wath upon Dearn. I had an idea Portland Place had been destroyed but pleased when I found this mention in Layerthorpe.
