Hi,

I have had a look but cant see an obvious match either. This could be one of those times where it might be worth looking for Mary with her husband in the 1911 census then you would at least get a place of birth and it would make it easier to search for her.

Did find both of these, but got so confused ???
Still cannot find a birth in either names, Mary or Elizabeth Gunn - birth 1873,  have not got access at the moment to 1911 census.
Have found the death date for William Gunn -13- Kea in the 1891 census, so have been working on the family, through Genes United
William Gunn died 18th April 1901.
It does not help that I cannot find births for Kea, been so many places and lost the plot ::)
Many thanks for you're help

1911 census is pay per view, so everyone has access. Helpful tips here.
