Ancestor Research (unable to find on GRO)
« on: Thursday 03 April 25 21:37 BST (UK) »
Hello all. I have an ancestor who I have several censuses for who always said that her place of birth was Manchester. Her name (maiden) was Pauline Strauss, and while the censuses from 1891-1911 differed in date of birth between 1867 and 1875 the 1921 Census and 1939 Register were relatively similar, mainly claiming that she was born in September/December 1865 or 1868. She married Francis George Glennie on the 2nd of August 1890 and had five children. The jist of it is that I have searched the GRO indexes endless times under any variation of her name I can think of - the only other details I know about her is that her father was Jacob Strauss, a traveller and she (probably) had three siblings, one of which I have found (Solomon, 1868 in Austria - December 1911 in Manchester).
Thank you very much, all.

On the 1891 census Blackpool Boarding House

Pauline Glennie is 22 giving DOB as 1869.
Francis George Glennie is 28
-----
Was she full age when married in 1890 or was her father's permission required?
