Hi, I am new to this forum and would like to say hello to everyone. What a fantiastic place this is!
I began my family history research some years ago and then let it go for a while as I seemed to hit so many brick walls. However the 1911 census started me off again.
Although I have found my Great Grandmother in 1871, 1881, marriage in 1895, 1901 and 1911, I still cannot find her in 1891. I have tried name variations, everything I can think of, so would really appreciate any suggestions please. I believe she would have been a servant, as in 1881 and on her marriage certificate. She did move around abit though, born in Cambridge, married in Hampshire, and died in Sussex. There is no doubt about these events, they are carefully checked out.
It is possible that her employers just didn't write down her details correctly, maybe didn't bother to find out her place of birth etc? Have others come across huge errors?
I would just love to know how she met her husband, my Great Grandfather He is in Hampshire, same place that the marriage took place, in 1891, but GGM is not around.
Thanks for any suggestions.
