Your suggestion of Walter Hill doesnt work accounted for in the 1901 census recorded as Elice Newton.
How come some get to be Higginson and some get to be Newton? Perhaps it is who gets to fill in the details.
Good afternoon everyone
Ah yes - missed that she was on 1901 census with her Page grandparents
Wish I new the answer as to why some have Higginson surname & some have Newton - a real puzzle we may never know
I hope you don't mind as there are so many pages & it’s making my head dizzy going back & forth to check on all the info. I’ve put together this using some of the details posted by yourself, Shilo & Woody32 - apoloigies in advance if I made any errors or left anything out
