I've recently received contact from a lady in New Zealand who is helping her friend with her family tree... trouble is we can't solve the mystery.
Minnie Bruce was born c. 1869...
In 1871, she is with her grandparents: James & Elizabeth Bruce
In 1881, she is living with her Auntie, Rebecca Sharpe (nee Bruce) in Islington. (Recorded as Minnie B Sharpe)
In 1891, she is a servant living in Islington
In 1899, she married Thomas Leeding
In 1901, she is living in St Pancras
In 1911, she is a widow living with her deceased husband's sister.
Our problem is we can't find a birth for Minnie... There is one in 1867, but she died aged 4 months...
It's possible that her mother is either Sarah Bruce or Martha Redley Bruce but there are trees on ancestry that alternate between the 2...
Can anybody help??? What names could Minnie be associated with?
