Hello

In 1915 there is an Elizabeth Seffen at 229 & 223  Main st.  Bonhill on SP valuations. She is also listed in 1920 at same addresses.1925 ,1930 , 1935 and 1940 , same thing ...

In the valuation section of SP I put surname begins with Sef and in location box I put Bonhill then you toggle through the years starting in 1920.

There is a glitch on the 1915 valuation page... if you put name starts with Sef and place Bonhill... nothing comes up. Remove Bonhill and you'll see Elizabeth Seffen 229 Main st Bonhill.

And.... just like that the SP site is down for maintenance and we can't check.

In 1901 census there are two Elizabeth Seffen's in Bonhill.

One is married ,age 30 living as a guest

The other lives at 469 Main st , Bonhill with husband Henry Seffen and son James. The same census says Henry and Lizzie were born in Ireland.

On the 1911 census at Bonhill there shows:

Elizabeth Seffon 40 ref 493/ 11/ 5

There is another Seffon entry in Bonhill that year:

Henry Seffon 69 ref 493/ 12/ 26

You would have to view the image to see the details and additional names, if any, at that property.
