FREE census index for 1901 doesn't show Worcs either..

She married a man called David Edward Wilson in 1908 in the Kidderminster District.
I have another birth year of 1892 for her i don't know what is right and i don't know her parents names. I know there is a similar match to her in the area of brierley hill but i'm really confused.
Her husband was born in 1889 and i also cannot find him but i believe he lived on a barge.

Then I think you need the marriage certificate...
The 1911 census index appears to show her "CHARLOTTIE" in Kidderminster b 1889.

Can't be her. She was married in 1908, so 10 years out...

Hi Lauz,
I've been looking for her too, without success I'm afraid. The trouble is that we don't really know where she was born, only that you know she married in Kidderminster area.
I think as Pauline says, you need a copy of the marriage certificate before we can help. That should show both Charlotte's and David's ages and addresses at the time of marriage, and both fathers' names and occupations, which should help to find them all in earlier census, and once you know their ages, it will be easier to find the birth registrations (hopefully)
If you'd like to get the certificate then come back and post the details, we'll hope to help further.
Kind regards,
Barbara

Hello Lauz,

ASHCROFT Charlotte WILSON David
You can order online from the GRO www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
or from the Kidderminster register office http://www.rootschat.com/links/05g9/

Let us know if you need any more help, and when you get the certificate, please would you post the details here, then hopefully we can find Charlotte in census for you.
Kind regards,
Barbara :)
