Hi
I am trying to find entries for my GGM Rose Harrod (formerly Bowers) c1874.
She appears in the 1901 & 1911 census both times in Dover under the surname Harrod but I cannot find her before 1901.
In 1911 her birthplace is shown as Sutton St James which is near(ish) Boston in Lincolnshire. In 1901 it is shown as Lincolnshire Sydd which I believe could be Tydd which is also near Boston.
Her husbands family all come from Freiston which is also near Boston and they definately moved to Dover. So from 1901 onwards I am happy.
I can find two Rose Bowers prior to 1901 born around 1874 but they both come from the Humber area of Lincolnshire (Winterton and Glanford Brigg).
Bowers is shown as her former surname of my Grandfathers birth certificate so I know it is right.
All I can think is that she was born in Glanford Brigg workhouse and moved and changed her past.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
