British births in Egypt 1890

[melba_schmelba]

Dear All,

Been talking to a very distant relative, by chance.  Apparently she came from Suffolk after falling out with the family.  I'm wondering if Mendham in Suffolk is the village she was from?

As for birth names/surname/dob who knows.  I guess this is one for DNA to solve, but I am not on this branch.

Thanks for all your inputs.

Or perhaps the father was a Harry/Henry/Harold from Mendham ?

Is her birthplace Cairo/Egypt on the 1921 census?  If so - I would think that is more reliable than info from relatives? 

No birth found in England

Yes Cairo Egypt in 1921 census.

So both 1911 & 1921.  Presume the Al Quahirah is from 1921 so very specific.  I would be inclined to believe her version

@CaroleW 
Both 1911 and 1921 have Cairo Egypt

Where did Al Quahira come from in your opening post?

[joger]

Al Quahira ( egyptian) means Cairo  (english), Le Caire ( french)

Thank you for correcting my ignorance

Where did Al Quahira come from in your opening post?

That I have now deduced was from when I manually inputted Cairo into my tree on Ancestry! Not in any of the documents.   Thank you again for pointing this out.
