Alexandria Anderson, 27
William H Anderson, 7

I do think you need the M/C as Flora 1895 does not appear on Census with this Family that I can see?

Thanks

Flora birth
  Flora  Anderson   born  1895  S Qtr in Monmouth Volume 11A  page 23   mothers maiden name Hale

On the 1911 census she is a boarder  age 15  name Flora
Anderson Occupation  Domestic  with Henry Hale   and wife Mary Ann Hale nee Price

So here name is Flora  she married as Flora  Rosemond  Anderson- Hale

Has to be a connection somewhere I just cant find it yet!

There are 2 Birth Reg Monmouth after the 1913 marriage;
Nita R Merry 1913 and Frank H Merry 1914, Mothers mn Anderson.

Nita R is an unusual name and leads back to that other Family?

There is also this 1891 Census

Henry Hale, 44
Mary Ann Hale, 37
Robert Price, 22, Brother in Law
Flora Hale, 5, Daug

Henry/Mary Ann married 1892 but I cant find on GRO Index a Birth for a Flora Hale, Mothers mn Price.

Did they take her in?

Looks possible as next door to the Andersons in 1891 are;
Henry Hale   33
Mary Ann Hale   28

Sorry have to log out here as its 1 am and work tomorrow!
