Hi all I wonder if you can help me because I have very little info to go on.

I am looking for my Great Grandmother who according to the 1901 census was born in Lichfield in Staffordshire. Now I have found her birth record in BMD and it is 1864 but I cannot find her on the 1871, 1881 or 1891 census.

At some time she married a William Haywood and I can find her as Mary Haywood on the 1901 but other than that I am lost. Her maiden name is Mary Whetton.

Can you please help me if you have 5 mins. It is driving me potty.

Kind regards
Liz

Got it!!!

Many many thanks for that. That certainly seems to be correct and to fit in. When you look at the actual census it does seem to say Whetton and not Whelton.

Fantastic!!! Now I know what her parents were called as well.

Liz - yep, welcome to the world of mis-transcription !  ;)

If you get her marriage Cert, hopefully it will confirm Georges name and occupation ...
