I wonder if Priscilla was looking after Violet, Horace and Claude so that their mothers could work, or if Claude's father Enrique was paying for Annie's rent and how long Annie and Claude lived there - if Enrique lived with his family and just visited - or lived at 133 Finborough Road with Annie, we'll never know. Annie is a servant in 1901, Enrique and Claude not found on the 1901 census.
Priscilla died in 1900 and Horace and Violet were sent away to Southend, while Alice (Grace Courtenay) is living at 13 Finborough Road living on own means, why not keep Horace with her and even Violet her niece? Horace lived with Alice (Grace) and her husband Herbert Solomon later on, we don't know if from their marriage in 1901.
Horace and Violet are at 78 Hamlet Court Road, Westcliffe College For Girls, Southend which closes in 1901 after the 1901 census, the daughters of the boarding school owner Agnes Shepherd open another school Dalmore Young Ladies College at 59 Hamlet Court Road until 1906 when they both marry - did Horace and Violet transfer to this school, will never know. Violet is not found in the 1911 census.

Horace was actually born on 2 January 1893 so Herbert and Grace have mislead the school so that Horace can stay for the full time at the Upper School or to prevent Horace’s identify from being found out.
Herbert, Grace and Horace are living at 6 Charleville Mansions as shown on the London Electoral Register and live there until 1911 when they move to Kew by the 1911 census.
Horace's 'father' is Solomon H L Courtenay - a combination of his step-father Herbert Lewis Solomon and his 'father' 'H Courtenay' on Horace’s marriage certificate.
Was Horace's unknown father a benefactor to the school?
Did other illegitimate sons go to this school from aristocratic and Gaiety Girl liaisons
