Venue from UKBMD website
The 1911 census shows that James and Mary had had ten children, two of whom were no longer living. They were probably the 2 not shown here, having been born and died between censuses. (The children shown here are all on the censuses 1881-1911)
Definitely still living in 1911 were those with James and Mary Ann in the census of that year: Ethel, Nellie, James, Stephen and Edwin.

Family Thomas Edgar SADLER, b. 27 Jan 1890, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England , d. 11 Feb 1961, College Hill Nursing Home, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England (Age 71 years) Married Jun Q 1923 St. Mark’s Church, Basford, Staffordshire, England - Although there was another Nellie born 1901 who might be considered more likely to have married in 1923, she appears to have died in 1904, so I think the marriage was probably this Nellie.
