Yes not sure if you’ve seen on tree, someone sourced a photo of her for me a while ago, probably the oldest photo I’ve got so far :)

is it possible that the census was not filled out? John perca had passed by 1914, could he have not come here at all, but Alexandra did? I’m not sure

Suzanne - as far as I can see your tree is private so we can't see anything on it.

Why do you have an Elizabeth Barker as the mother of Alexandra Perca?

Also the wife of Richard Foster and the mother of Alfred Henry appears to have been an Elizabeth Fenton.

Elizabeth barker had Alexandra perca out of wedlock with John perca. She went on to marry a foster, and had three children, one being Alfred Henry foster, he fought in the war and died in France, some family went to see his grave a few months back. The relation is right as we have some personal items of Alfred.
 
The mother of Alfred Henry, Rose (Rosina) and George was Elizabeth Fenton. She married Richard Foster in 1896 and on the 1901 census her mother, Eliza Fenton, is living with them.

I can see that is another Alfred Henry Foster who died WWI but his mother married a Frank Barker in 1914. So she would either have been a Foster or something else before she married a Foster.

So its the second one, to be honest her name Elizabeth Barker and the photo was sourced by family, not ancestry, I assumed Barker was her maiden name, but maybe she married a barker, split and married a foster, and had Alexandra perca somewhere in-between? she was a bit of a floozy so I heard :)
 
No, she had Alfred Henry Foster before she married Frank Barker.

Frank and Elizabeth are together at Ronald Road (the address listed with Alfred' death) in 1921 and 1939.

And I've just noticed that Frank was a boarder of Charles and Clara Miles in 1911.
 
Right perhaps she had Alexandra first out of wedlock, then had all the foster children, then married and settled down with Frank Barker? Ive got them all on the tree but no barker husband. thought that was her maiden name.
perhaps she met him when he was a boarder.
 
Got it!

Elizabeth Smith b1875 married Luciano Pechio, reg. Jun qtr 1895 Aston.

Had 3 children Allesandra (reg. Dec 1895 Bham), Violet (reg. Dec 1896 Bham, d1897) & Alfred Henry (reg. Jun 1898 Bham).

Elizabeth married Alfred William Foster, reg. Jun qtr 1908 Bham (as Perchia).

Elizabeth married Frank Barker, reg. Jun qtr 1914 Aston.

Not sure what happened to Luciano or Alfred William Foster and don't know why Alexandra gave her father's name as John when she married.

As Alfred Henry's name is Foster when he dies he may not have been a Pecchio.

Some of the marriages are on Ancestry.

Elizabeth's father was a Henry Smith and on the 1921 census with Frank and Elizabeth is a Margaret Smith listed as a niece.
