Sproston 1901 lookup please
« on: Friday 09 October 09 16:15 BST (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for a Millie Sprostan born around 1892ish in the East Riding area. I'm hoping that there won't be more than one Millie Sprostan! I know she got married in 1917, but don't have the marriage certificate yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne :)

Hi Wayne,

Have you spotted a birth for her?

The only one I see is

Millie Sproston
Mar 1892 Northwich 8a 274

She seems to be living in Haverton Hill, Bilingham, Durham in 1901.

Will post details if you think she's a likely candidate
