Title: 1891 Census Lookup please - FRANKLIN
Post by: becca.morgan on Saturday 11 November 06 18:23 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I would really appreciate some help with my current brick wall!

I have recieved some information from a relative, so I don't know how they found out any of this. I am looking for a Rose Mary Franklin, born 18 July 1887, but I do not have a location. She ended up in Norfolk, but there is no Franklin's of the right name in the area. The only other information I know about her is that her mother was Emma Franklin (nee Green). I don't have a first name for her father.

I have done a free search of the 1891 census, and there are three Rose M Franklin's in the country. One is in Berkshire, one in Warwickshire and one in Oxfordshire. She may not have given the 'M' or 'Mary' at all, but it is a start!

If anyone is able to check mother's names to get somewhere in this mystery and possibly find a father's name I would be very thankful.

Thanks for any help,

Becca

Thanks very much!

If that's the only match, should I believe that or try and verify it somehow?

Thanks again,

Becca

There are two ways to confirm Rose's parents - one is through Baptism records, the other would be by obtaining a copy of her birth certificate (or her marriage cert would give her Father's name).

BUT - I can't find a Rose M. Franklin born during July/August/Sept 1887 - ANYWHERE in the country  :-\
