I have a marriage between Lily Augusta Harris and Charles Howe in Islington in 1900.
Could anyone see them in 1901? I'm looking for Lily's place of birth.
Thanks.
According to the marriage certificate she was 29, so b. abt 1871. Her father was Thomas William Harris, jeweller, and her address at the time of the marriage (9 Jun 1900, St George's Tufnell Park) was 141 Tufnell Park Road.

Many thanks everyone. This all goes to prove that she is not the person I'm looking for. "My" Lily Augusta was born in the Oxford workhouse in 1874 and then disappears from view until appearing again in 1900 giving birth to a son and using my grandfather's name. I've been searching for years and can't find any trace !
On the birth registrations, she's listed as Lily Augusta W Harris. Any ideas what the W stands for? Perhaps she calling herself Lily W...... and that's why we can't find her?
Ancestry record states Lily Augusta W Harris, born July/Aug/Sept quarter 1874, born in Headington, Oxfordshire.
I found a Lilly Harris born Oxford 1874 as a visitor to Rosa Bates in Fulham in the 1901 census, states she is single though, possibley entered incorrectly.
In 1911 There's a Charles Howe (married & born Homerton) stationed in Colchester with the 2nd Battalion Scottish Rifles and another born 1855 stationed with the Royal Garrison Artillery (Ceylon and India). If you can find their army records you might find (possibly the first Charles) their spouse's name on them as next of kin.
Could you give us the son's name please and her birth certificate details?
It's not easy is it
Lily Augusta Wall Harris, born Oxford Workhouse, 27th Nov. 1874, mother Emily Jane Harris, domestic servant. No father named
Eldest of at least 9 children born 1901/1915 in Bury,Lancs, William Bridgman Graham, born Bury 1901. No marriage found between Lily (now refered to as Lilian) and Thomas Graham.
Hopeless case I think Elaine.
Think this is Thomas 1891, Isabella from first marriage on tree as from Birkenhead; the youngest daughter Jeannie from a tree with grandparents, death for Thomas as 1930.
Mother Jeaney death as 1895!

did you discount PDennis's info?
Sadly none of this tallies with what I already know. I just can't prove that the b. cert I have is for the same person who was in Bury in 1900. She did a complete disappearing act from 1874 to 1900!
