1901 census gives my grandmother as Lilian Graham, 25, born Oxford, wife of Thomas Graham and living in Bury, Lancs.
All their childrens' birth cert. give her maiden name as Lilian Augusta Harris.
No marriage for them has ever been found.
1891 Lilley Harris, 15, b. St. Clements Oxfordshire, Neice, St Pancras. (head Arthur Smith.) ??????
1881 no trace at all.
1874 birth cert. for Lily Augusta Wall Harris. Oxford Workhouse, Headington, sub district St. Clement. Mother Emily Jane Harris. Father unnamed.
Oxfordshire records office have searched poor law/workhouse records for both Lily and Emily Jane ( they looked at surname Wall too) and came up with nothing. Also same results in baptism records for the workhouse and nearby parishes.
This really does look like the end of the trail unless you know differently....
