Something is not right
mother for Hubert William is a Harper
on census mother is an Elizabeth

on bapt is Thomas Smith Castle and Elizabeth

but...the only marriage I can find is this
Marriages Dec 1871
AUSTIN Elizabeth Islington 1b 590
Castle Thomas Smith Islington 1b 590
Gumbrell William Islington 1b 590
Hobday Charlotte Islington 1b 590

so I cant ...without the marriage of hubert william be sure of anything

the only thing I can think is that mother Elizabeth was prev married
cos the births check out for hubert and Frank
