1891 - 1901 Census Lookup - Edge

Hi,

I recently found an entry on FreeBMD that was for a Lilian Sophia Edge born in 1884. I believe she may have been one of my relatives because her mother was called Sophia and she would have had an aunt called Lilian who died at birth. I was wondering if anybody could find her on either the 1891 or 1901 census. It says Hendon and the rest of the family is from there or Willesden. I haven't come across her before in my research.

Oh wow, that's fantastic, she is related! I thought she must be, I've just never found the family in the 1891 census before. That is brilliant and they didn't live far from Charles R's father either. I wonder what happened to Lilian for me to miss her on the 1901 census. She possibly, may not be with her family actually. Our family dont seem to stick together for that long.

Thanks so much!

I can't see her in 1901 either

Oh, I'm looking but all I can find is a Lilian Edge who is 17 and it says she was born in Willesden. However, shes a general servant (domestic) so I'm wondering if the head of household wrote it down wrong because maybe he just guessed. Any ideas?

Well possible!
