Welcome !

Births Sep Quarter of 1906   
 
Towler  Lilian     W.Derby  Vol 8b Page 628


Get this Birth Cert to ascertain her parents names - and then it will be possible to work back via their marriage to reveal them and their families in the 1901 census and earlier.

It may be possible to find her and deduce her parents from the free-search function of the 1911 census too ...

The cert can be obtained online - http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Hello and a warm welcome :)

You'd need certificates to confirm, but it looks likely that she is a daughter of William John & Maria Towler, both born about 1876.  William's mother seems to be a Lucy Louisa Towler b abt 1837.

The family seem to have had at least one other daughter, Gladys Louise Towler b abt 1905.

If you go to www.1911census.co.uk (a pay site) you should be able to find the family in 1911.
