Thanks for the info, I could not find the record on FamilySearch, either.

The baptism points to Elsie being the mother so that seems to solve one problem.

On the 1921 census, Elsie Elizabeth Wolley, born 1897 in Bulkeley, is in Okehampton, Devon.

With her, is a Mary Davies born in Burwardsley in 1888. The other person is Joseph Abram William Davies, born 1889 in Oswestry, possibly Mary's husband.

I am curious as to the whereabouts of Elsie's mother Mary in the 1911 census. The father, John, and the other children seem to be boarders but Mary is not with them. I haven't been able to find her - any ideas?

[heywood]

Is she with the family later? Do you have a death?

[idyia14]

She died in early 1936, lived in Blackburn St, Liverpool until her death. There are various electoral registers that have her there in the early 1930s with Elsie and later Hilda. It seems odd (to me) that she is not with the rest of the family in 1911.

Any census is only a snapshot of where people were at midnight on a specific day.
It does not show where people were living!

Maybe visiting relatives, or a friend?

[idyia14]

Yes, I  realise that but it just feels odd! I would still like to find where she was on that night!

Of course, I listed them 

She could been omitted by accident in which case that would be it.
I can’t see anyone with her birth details in 1911.
If she were in hospital, I think she would be named rather than just her initials.
