Isn't she at home with her parents in 1891 as Lizzie? RG12/2248 134 10

There's a possible(?) candidate at Erdington in 1901: RG13/2875 141 10
Elizabeth Summerfield, servant,  age 21, born Staffordshire not known

Thanks, that does appear to be her... Which makes it very interesting as Elizabeths son Arthur was born in 1902... I wonder if the father was the head of the household.......?!?!?!?! hmmmmmm

Might be worth seeing if whoever Elizabeth worked for left a will or trying to trace descendants

Who was Elizabeth servant to?.

She was servant to a Frederick Bennett who was a cabinet maker and upholsterer... They lived at 7 Beaufort Road, Erdington.

How would I be able to find out if he left a will..

The only way I know to find out if someone left a will is you need a date of death & you apply to http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1226.htm
there is a charge of £5 whether or not they find a will

No entry for 7 Beaufort Road Erdington on the 1911 census
5 & 9 are listed

How bizarre..... Any ideas as to why....??

Can't find Frederick Bennett on 1911 either.

It's a conspiracy
