I can't see you are missing anything Mally , I can't see Martha being his mother in law unless Charles had been married before.

Thought this may throw a light on things but it don't.

1911 : 12 Causeway Blackheath B'ham
WILLETTS, Charles Head Married M 66 1845 Retired General Labourer Staffs Blackheath
WILLETTS, Mary Ann Wife Married
43 years F 64 1847 Staffs Blackheath
3 Children born - 2 living - 1 died

Is this a different Charles .

What's the word that's crossed out and been replaced by mother inlaw. Does it say relative?

I can only see one Martha Tromans in previous census (1881+1871) and she is with husband Thomas (b 1817). She appears to be his second wife as he is with a Rebecca in 1861.
