Found in 1901?
« on: Wednesday 12 March 14 21:00 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying to find an ancestor of mine in the 1901 census without any luck for several months now, and gave up trying to find her. I think I might have stumbled upon her while trying to find her sister instead. I believe it could be her, but can someone check over my findings please?

James Stevenson and his wife Esther Jane had 2 girls. Frances Ellen and Sarah Ann. Frances born 1882 and Sarah 1884 in Dingley, Northamptonshire.

Couldnt find Sarah anywhere in 1901, but looking at the census for Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire where Frances is living, I see theres a Sarah Ann in the house next door, 2 years younger but born London. Coincidence?

RG13; Piece: 2959; Folio: 90; Page: 28

Any advice anyone? Thanks.

Hi David.

I have had a look around on the censuses.

On the 1891 one of Sarah A's brother is noted as born in Middlesex.

It is therefore proably that Sarah Ann could say she was also.

As a Sarah A Stevenson marries Thomas A Withers in Leicester and is on
the next census after 1901 stating P.O.B. as you mentioned above the
certificate would more than likely prove it.

The other point is that her parents move to Kirby Muxloe also.
