1901 census look up please

[mentmore]

Looking for Hannah  Vickers in 1901 census. Hannah was born in Mentmore, Bucks 1872. In the 1891 census she was living in Bedfordshire. The 1911 census (Index only) she may be living Islington, London.
I beleive Hannah had a child Dorothy.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks

Just beat me to it but it looks as though she was possibly a servant to William Wyllie a Farmer together with several Estate workers and their families.

Possible but as he is in household no. 2 and she is in no.6, The Old Rectory, I am wondering where the rector is? It is possible that he was away from home on the night of the census.

Thank you both for your quick replies, thank you.
I have a sneaky feeling that Hannah was not married although she says she was a widow. The 1911 census should settle that.

Much appreciated

Wem is in Shropshire and the census gives Dorothy's birthplace as East Dulwich so I don't think that can be the right one, Pam.

There is another one, in Dec 1899, Camberwell, 1d/853
Dorothy May V Vickers

The FreeBMD entry for the Camberwell birth has the following note attached to it;

"Illegitimate daughter of Hannah Varney of Ledbury Bucks, who adopted the maiden name of her grandmother, Mary Viccars (b.Aston Abbots, 1803, married to John Varney, 26/10/1826"

Whether or not this is accurate, who knows, but it might help.

You are an absolute Gem, Hannah Vickers was Hannah Varney and Mary Vickers was indeed Hannahs grandmother and John Varney her grandfather. Mary Vickers and John Varney were my gt.gt. grandparents.
Thank you Jen and Pam for your help.
