Yes just for Dundee, I have narrowed it down to 1886-87 but still have 28 - which is 2pages.

Can't find her in the 1901 census...

Take the punt and try 1887 on its own - I appreciate you're trying to get down to 25 and just one page of results.

The Minnie in my family was Mary. Caused me months of trying to find Minerva's or Wilhelmina's! No idea where it comes from, but it was quite common.

If her Grandmother was Mary then that would be the place to start I think.

Right 1887-88 gets me two Mary Janes

Will have a look at 1886 - just in case....

Ah yes, the old story of family research - you end up spending the money anyway! ;D

Can't find her in the 1901 census...

But you found the rest of the family?

If so, but no Minnie, then it saddens me to say - have you searched the deaths - say 1891 - 1901 ?  age, 4 - 14; birth 1887 +/- 2
