Babs she was born in Fulham.....I saw that one too and wondered if that was her but not sure, I might have to get the birth cert to find out.

[borobabs]

Thats only way you would be sure use father and mother as checking points and that way you will only pay £4 not 7 ;;;

[Rosi Glow]

Very good Idea Babs. Thanks

[Just Gillian]

I think it says 11 weeks Rosi.

[borobabs]

Welcome babe , mind if it is her you can see why they shortened it , and there was A middle name ;;;
Yes I would say weeks as well can make out the K

I agree it says 11 weeks. Sadly the one Babs found died in the Sep quarter 1901. It may be that they registered the birth and death at the same time

[Rosi Glow]

HA!! That explains a lot Jackie.....She isnt on the 1911 with her 3 siblings.

I'd looked there first too

[Rosi Glow]

Thanks everyone, I will order the birth cert tomorrow, Im pretty certain now that that is the one Im looking for, if she was 11 weeks the birth & death dates would make sense

Celia could be a shortened form of Cecilia.

11 weeks on 1901 census (taken 31 March 1901) means by the time the September quarter for registration began on 1st July the child would have been 24 weeks. Surely the limit for registration without penalty was 6 weeks so if this registration is your girl it was very late.
