Do you have this birth certificate, I was just wondering what date she was born 

WATKINGS, MARY  ANN     mmn WOOD 
GRO Reference: 1891  March Quarter in CHEPSTOW  Volume 11A  Page 16

Maybe she was just staying a few nights with her parents and no one entered them on the census

Yes, this was my great-aunt Annie whom I knew - she was born on 3 March 1891 at Woolaston and registered on 23 March 1891

So according to her birth certificate they were at Woolaston, Gloucestershire

William Watkins and Eliza nee Dorrington also had Gertrude Mary Watkins reg. 1886 Chepstow

mother's maiden name Dorrington

Ref: GRO Index

1901 Census she is age 15 working as a house maid - 13 Ashgrove Road, Bristol

So she is also missing from the 1891 census with William.
Need to see if she is with grandparents or in the workhouse

Yes, I noted that … she isn’t with the grandparents - they are the only two recorded at Hoarwithy, Joseph (57) and Mary Ann Wood (56)

I have checked that Gertrude Watkins isn’t living with any of her late mother’s siblings - she is not, so another mystery
