Thanks for being reminded to revisit this thread, it's gratifying to see mention of the Sundridge Chalcrafts; my own more recent & independent research into my Longhope aunt's family surprised us to find her husband's line are of Sussex/Kent origins rather than the expected Tirley Glos.
The link is Edith Mary Chalcraft b1893, her mother Mary was born in Longhope (aka "Langbone !", in the 1901 Census, as per Slowhands' post above). The 1911 Census correctly shows:

1911 Census, 6 Room Residence, Sundridge Kent.

William Chalcraft Head abt 1859 52 Male Married 22yrs Gardener Domestic, Sundridge Kent
Mary Chalcraft Wife abt 1862 49 Female Married 22yrs Dress Maker, Longhope Gloucestershire
Edith Chalcraft Daughter abt 1893 18 Female Single, Sundridge Kent
Dick Chalcraft Son abt 1896 15 Male Single, Sundridge Kent
Kathleen Chalcraft Daughter abt 1897 14 Female, Sundridge Kent
Jublee Chalcraft Son abt 1898 13 Male school, Brasted Kent
Minnie Chalcraft Daughter abt 1900 11 Female school, Sundridge Kent
Robert Chalcraft Son abt 1902 9 Male, Sundridge, Kent
Lily Chalcraft Daughter abt 1906 5 Female, Sundridge Kent
Gwendoline Chalcraft Daughter abt 1907 4 Female, Sundridge, Kent

Belated but gratefull thanks to MPG for the Chalcraft military research, at time of posting I hadn't realised it's significance to my own family.

PS Yes, this Census is correct wrt the name of the son born abt 1898. His full name was Jubilee George Chalcraft born August 1897, during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Year. I suspect he was known as George.
