1891 Census lookup please.

Looking for details of TIMMS family in Steyning on 1891 census if at all possible.

Father is William, his wife is Harriett and possible children Beatrice and Lillian.

Family rumour is that there was also a child called Regina also known as Queenie but i cannot find any birth entry for a Regina Timms.

Many thanks for a speedy reply.  We have a list of 7 children in total but one of my aunts insists there was a Queenie or Regina as well who apparently had a somewhat colourful life!!  It was said that she had a son Douglas but was not married but i just cannot find any information on her.   

Many thanks once again.

Hi Trish

Any ideas as to when she was born or even was she one of the younger children?

I could search the birth index on findmypast for you but without even a decade to go on it would take hours.

I haven't got a clue!!  I haved checked BMD for her, found the other children but no sign of a Queenie or Regina.  William and Harriett married in 1885 and Beatrice was born 1889. BMD won't let me search for any Regina's without a surname so i am now wondering if she was a cousin of sorts.

Update on this one.  I think i have found the missing child. Not Regina or Queenie but Florence!!!!  She is listed as a visitor aged 4 staying with what i believe to be family in Surrey.  Now i just need a trip to Sussex to see the parish records and order the certificate to prove my theory.

Brilliant news Trish and I hope the trip is successful and you find her.  They only do it to wind us up you know
