This is the Delaney family in 1891 (Source - Ancestry):

English Bicknor
Given Name Surname Relationship Gender Age Estimated Birth Year Birth City or District Birth County Birth Country
Hubert Delaney Head Male 41 1850 West Dean Gloucestershire England
Sarah Hughes Wife Female 42 1849 Cirencester Gloucestershire England
Kate E Hughes Daughter Female 17 1874 West Dean Gloucestershire England
Annie Hughes Daughter Female 13 1878 West Dean Gloucestershire England
John Hughes Son Male 9 1882 West Dean Gloucestershire England
Ernest E Hughes Son Male 5 1886 Bicknor Gloucestershire England

From this you will see that apart from the Head of the household the surname has been transcribed as Hughes in error.

The family in 1901
Staunton
Household Number Name Relation to Head Age Estimated Birth Year Gender Birth Place
17 Hubert Delaney Head 51 1850 Male Hillersland, Gloucestershire, England
17 Sarah Jane Delaney Wife 52 1849 Female Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England
17 Annie Delaney Daughter 23 1878 Female Berry Hill, Gloucestershire, England
17 John Delaney Son 19 1882 Male Berry Hill, Gloucestershire, England

Ernest Edward is not at home and I have not been able to find him in the 1901 Census. However there is a Henry Delaney born the same year listed as follows:
Household Number Name Relation to Head Age Estimated Birth Year Gender Birth Place
Elm Farm, Staunton
29 Henry Daries Head 26 1875 Male Abergwili, Carmarthenshire, Wales
29 Elizabeth Daries Wife 24 1877 Female Llandyssil, Carmarthenshire, Wales
29 Mary Morgan Daries Daughter 2 1899 Female Staunton, Gloucestershire, England
29 David John Daries Son 1 1900 Male Staunton, Gloucestershire, England
29 George Pritchard Servant 21 1880 Male Hereford, Herefordshire, England
29 Henry Delaney Servant 15 1886 Male Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England
29 Jane Webb Servant 16 1885 Female Kentchurch, Herefordshire, England

I have not been able to locate a Henry born 1886 so this may be an error by the Enumerator but we cannot count on it.

It is also worth mentioning that Ernest Edward's birth is registered as follows:
Child Surname Child Forename Father Surname Mother Surname Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry
DELANEY Edward Ernest DELANEY DELANEY JEFFRIES 1886 Forest of Dean Monmouth, Coleford 43 469
