I have had a look at 1911 cencus and she is listed on there and her year of birth is 1884 ( http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/results4.aspx?x=449585931)

It might be worth you looking to see if there is any hints on that

i will keep going though

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty, Annie married 1903 to Charles Andrews WAY. Another researcher has just sent me a copy of the 1911 census with them on in. Annie is quoted as being 27 and born in Lambeth.

Algernon William
Beatrice
George Thomas
Herbert Jessie

These were indeed their children.

Best wishes,
Derek

You're right Kirsty..if you don't ask...

My mum missed out on knowing her father,and i missed out on a Grandfather,and all because you worry about upsetting people by asking questions.

Bull by the horns time,..

Gill

Derek,

Do you have her marriage certificate?
If we had her father's name I would be able to trace her through the cencus and hopefully find her birth that way.

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty, not yet but I must get it ......

Derek
