Osprey,
It seems good.
I do need to accept a lot of flexibility in the use in the use of first names:
Mary Louisa becomes Louisa.
Florence becomes Winifred Florence.
And I won't question "William John Summers" Tailor - Her father isn't mentioned anywhere else and I can't find a William John Summers anywhere - there is a degree of fiction there.
However, James Arthur Reginald is definitely one of ours!
Thanks again for the help. A more confident picture is appearing every day.

Osprey,
I'll check it tomorrow, but it looks like you've got it. My mother grew up on Holdsworth Street and most of the rest our branch were in eithe Hodsworth Street or Wake street.

Thanks for your help - great.

regards

Martin

Flemming,
It would seem that Kenneth Thomas Llewellyn Bourner and Kenneth Thomas Llewellyn Morgans are the same person. There is good correlation between GRO and other records etc.
I've checked all that I can find related to this, but sadly my problem remains.
Thanks for the clue...every hint helps.
Regards

Flemming,
I think that you have something worth pursuing. There is some suggestion that her aunts moved to Bloomsbury from Plymouth with a unmarried, possibly  dubious, life style.

It may not resolve the destiny of either Mary Louisa or Florence, but it will indicate a life style.

Thanks for the clue.

Regards

Martin

I have a birth certificate for Caroline dated a few days before the 1851 census, in East Stonehouse, but she doesn't appear in that census, despite the fact that her mother does.

Brentor boy,

sadly I don't think you Totnes suggestion will help. I think it is for a Jioanna Harrington born in Guernsey.

Thanks again for the help

Brentor boy, I'll give the Harrington near Totnes another look, thanks.

Brentor boy, Thanks, Caroline Harrington's later life is well documented. Probably because of her illegitamacy, however, she doesn't appear in either the 1851 or 1861 census, so her upbringing is far from clear.
Thanks again.

Thank you Carole. I had noticed that entry, but have been unable to connect it to anything else in any way. I guess it might be part of the jig saw but, how and where, seems to be elusive.
Thanks again.
