1891 Kent, Somerset (as surname)
« on: Saturday 21 August 04 17:38 BST (UK) »
Hi all

I've found most of the family in 1891, but a brother and sister appear to be missing.  The surname does differ in everything I locate i.e. Summersett etc.

William Somerset age should be 25, born Newington, Kent.
Laura Somerset age should be 17, born Luton (Chatham), Kent.

Any other information needed let me know.

Any help gratefully received.

Jen.

Thank you Mistyrose and Winston.

Yes, I think this Laura is mine.  If she was a domestic servant she may have lied about her age or maybe her employer guessed ... who knows?

I've no idea what happened to William, another one of those things I suppose!!!

Many thanks to you both.
