1911 census
Louisa Waters  widow 64  born Downham Market  Married 44 years 5 children 4 living 1 deceased
Robert Harry    son 23 brick lab. born Fincham
Albert             grand son   18  brick lab. born Fincham
-----------------
The child who died is Agnes  birth reg. 1880 Downham burial 2 July 1884 at Fincham age 4
----------------
Mary Ann has married George Morton 16 April 1892
Isaac married Sarah Ann West 21 November 1896 at North Runcton
Robert Harry married Katie E A Bloom 1918

------------------
So I think I have answered my own question concerning Albert he was registered December quarter
1892 if he belonged to Mary he would be Albert Morton as they married in April 1892.
So he has to be the son of Elizabeth.  ADDED Just saw your reply
------------
Based on the information her mother gave in 1911 she is still alive.

Brilliant information there amondg  ;D some of which I was familar with and some new details too.

The only name I dont really recognise is Mary Ann......who is she?

Yep, Isaac Waters married Sarah West. Sarah sadly died in 1898 and he then married Elizabeth in 1900 but she passed away in 1909.

So if the 1911 census information is correct and Elizabeth is still alive then where is she???

Hope this helps.

I think you may have to invest £2.50 for Elizabeth's birth certificate.

With an exact DOB search can be made of deaths and the 1939 registration.

I've tried just Elizabeth born Fincham 1868 on 1901 and 1911 but there are just too many

Thank you very much amondg for your last two replies  ;)

Not quite sure why I did not have Mary Ann listed within the Isaac Waters family, I had Elizabeth, Isaac, Agnes and Robert H, but it wasn`t until you replied that I learnt Agnes passed away aged just 4 years old.

I have found a baptism record for Elizabeth Waters dated 06.12.1868 at Fincham Church.

I too entered Elizabeth Waters details using 1868 plus or minus 1 year option in Downham Market into FindMyPast ( I can still carry out a search but can not access the records ) and it returned 57 results. Of those 57 only 4 ( I have all the details from these 4 records already ) are dedicated Elizabeth Waters, the others are variants of Elizabeth Waters.

I elected to carry out another search except replacing Downham Market with Norfolk. This returned 1,111 results. This will need a visit to the local library to try and evaluate the merits of each record.

Many thanks again for taking the time to research on my behalf and then posting your findings, you`ve been a great help  ;D
