I'm a bit puzzled with the 1901 census as the John Phillipson in there has a wife called Ellen who is the same age as Mary and is from Carlisle. It must be the same family as Joseph Henry is still at home, so either John has re-married or Mary was Mary Ellen. A son called Fred also pops up in the 1901 census born 1887 in Carlisle...........
