[sylvia]

I am searching for  Florence Georgina Lawley in the 1901 census in the Staffordshire region.I havnt got much information on her except her age at the time which would have been 4 years  .I only know this because I have her death cert for 1958 aged 71.The census area could  be Wolverhampton but i cant swear by it.If any one can help I would be really, really, grateful.
                                                 Thanks Sylvia

Hi there Sylvia

am searching for  Florence Georgina Lawley..I havnt got much information on her except her age at the time which would have been 4 years  in the 1891 census.I only know this because I have her death cert for 1958 aged 71.The census area could  be Wolverhampton but i cant swear by it.If any one can help I would be really, really, grateful.
            Thanks Sylvia

Have just checked on the 1891 census and there are 21 Florence Lawleys, but no Florence Georgina Lawley and none of those 21 are 4 years of age.  
Depending on which side of the census her birthday was, and whether she died befor or after her birthday - then she could be either 3, 4 or 5.

There is only one 3 year old, but two 5 year olds – but none are from Wolverhamton.  The 3 year old is born in Harborne, Staffordshire and the two 5 year olds are born in Swinton, Lancashire and Birmingham, Warwickshire.

So where do we go from here – Have you any further clues?

Well we can forget the Lancashire lass.I really dont have anymore info on Flo .I should do as she was my grandmother.Thanks for trying though Chris. Sylvia

Sudden thought

If she was your grandmother, she must have been married!

Is Lawley her married name or maiden name

It was her maiden name. perhaps i should take a look at the  Harborne, Staff's  flo .I only went for Wolverhampton because thats where she got married and had all her children christened .

 I Know this is a bit early in the morning for sums, bit isnt death in 1958 at  71 years == birth year of 1886-ish, so 14-ish in 1901?
