Accuracy of the 1891 census

Don't suppose you can apply the same magic and find Hannah's marriage certificate?!

Too cheeky??

you have saved me having to buy a wig.

    You're most welcome

Have found Hannah on the 1911 Wales census:

Again mistranscribed (!) as Hannah BAZLEY - Cook/dom Servant to August Blundell, Clerk in holy Orders, address Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire.

No luck yet with a marriage.

Again, Thank you Mrs T.

A little bit of the story Hannah (unmarried I assume) had a child in 1919 Barbara Irene Thomas whose BC I have knowledge of and the mother is named as Adeline Thomas nee Bayley.

The child Barbara was given to Hannah's brother George and his wife Adelaide (confusing similarity in names) who brought her up as their own, the truth only came out sometime around 1950 (vague family memory) when Hannah Adeline died (I can't find a DC for Hannah Adeline either!)

*sigh&

Never give up - sometimes it just takes a little (or much more) time!

One thing that crossed my mind when finding Hannah in Wales in 1911 is that David Thomas is a particularly Welsh name. Where was Barbara born?

Good luck with it all 

Mrs. T.

Barbara Irene Thomas was born in Lambeth 1919 - Hannah probably/ possibly got pregnant by a Welsh lad and scurried back to UK to be near family? In 1911 George was living in Colchester.

That's a possibility, but one that you are unlikely to ever find out. 

Nevertheless, keep digging!

Do you have Barbara´s birth certificate?

[Lizzielogs]

Hi Craclyn, no not in my hand. I am in Spain and the BC is in the UK, I am waiting for someone to send me the details from it.
