1911 CENSUS- A Mystery Solved
« on: Thursday 15 January 09 13:14 GMT (UK) »
I have always wondered where my paternal grandmother was born.
She lived, married and died in Manchester.

According to her wedding and death certs she was born about 1889/90.
I have looked for her first in Lancashire then the surrounding counties.
Looking at the various indexes there were several [17] possibilities.

I have just found her p o b in Madeley Shropshire in the 1911 census. traced back to 1901 and 1891 found her parents and siblings. Now to work back
Oh Joy, the search begins

I have had 2 contacts already, which is good and I have followed the family back through all the census. Luckily the names are uncommon and the areas sparsely populated.

More cousins!
