1901 Lawrence & Jennie Petre and family

[rutht22000]

Can anyone find Lawrence (b.c.1866) and Jennie (b.c.1870) on the 1901 census, around the Chelmsford area?

They are like to have their children Louis (around 10) and Mildred (aged 5 or 6) with them and possibly more children.  Both children are registered as being born in Chelmsford district.

Thanks

Were Lawrence & Jennie born in Essex?  They married 1890 in the Strand RD

1891 shows Lawrence J (Joseph) b Ingatestone Essex and Jennie M b United States.  New Albany Indiana

Could they have been in the USA in 1901?

Hello, I know this chat happened a long time ago but in case anyone else bumps into it I do have most of the answers! Lawrence and Jennies daughter Mildred Mary became very famous in the 1920's and 30's. She was the first woman to win the Coup Des Dames in the Monte Carlo Rally, had many world records for endurance driving, fastest crossing of the English Channel by speedboat, and was also the first woman to fly solo around the world. I have done a great deal of research on her life much of which has been used by an American Writer, Nancy Wilson to write her biography which we published last year. see www.queen-of-speed.com .  If anyone is still interested do get in touch and I, or Nancy, will be happy to try and help.   Carey
