No problem Melissa, but just to be clear what certificates do you actually have? with the other thread running I have lost track.

have you got Josephine's birth? or are you basing knowledge of her parents on what was found in the previous thread?

Births Jun 1887 (>99%)

Harris Josephine Mile End 1c 471

Sorry - didn't mean to repeat, but though as I was searching for children rather than Mother it would be a different question. Original question tonight was how can I search for people when I do not know their original surname? And there had been no further additions to previous thread a couple of days ago....
Beginner's mistake!

Melissa, as i said earlier in this thread and as you where advised in your other thread the marriage cert is a must, without certs everything else is pure guesswork

Melissa it would have been better to update that thread rather than start another as some of the searching there has now been repeated here, it saves searchers time if all the info is kept together for one family :)

Yes thanks Katie, that WAS me trying to find the mother a few days ago. Mopther found, now trying to find children - still not the right family!

jansmith, yes to both deaths Mabel and Doris

as for not finding in 1911, it's so frustrating - I know their mother is a boarder in a house in kensington in april 1911 and was married soon after, but where are the children? In care??
