Ellen / Helen Bain

[Kirsty Edwards]

The point is that it's the same address so it's almost certainly the same person. Where does the census say she was born?

oh yes it would definitely be the same Helen / Ellen. It doesn't have her DOB just says 38years which matches up born in Aberlour, Banffshires

Does it not show her place of birth in her 1911 entry?

The entry below Helen in the 1911 census. Is baby William a Bain?

In 1901, there is this entry at 41 Balvenie Street Mortlach:

Peter Bain 54 shoemaker b. Speymouth, Morayshire
Helen Bain 28 daughter, housekeeper b. glenrinnes, Banffshire
Elizabeth Bain 10 grandchild b. Mortlach, Banffshire
Jeanie Bain 7 grandchild b. Mortlach, Banffshire
James Smith 6 Months grandchild b. Mortlach, Banffshire

Details for this family show on page 5 of this doc www.brebner.com/uploads/bre13379.pdf
