marge ive ordered it will let you know xx thanks everyone for your help

Just wondering, Emma, what info did you have that Lillie's maiden name was Spanner and that she married Alfred Mew?

Oops! I think you're right Astra. She was 1 month old on the 1911 census which was taken 2 April so would have been registered April/May/June quarter. Will amend my post.

Think it might be this one Margee. She is 1 month old in the census born Upper Holloway which is Islington

Births Jun 1911 (>99%)

Sanders Grace L Islington 1b 156

Order Grace's birth certificate and I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that mother's maiden name is Benton.

Births Sep 1910 (>99%)

SANDERS Grace L Greenwich 1d 9[9_]_

Edit: Oops but not this one , I made a mistake. Order the one that Astra has posted in 1911.

It would appear that Lillie has no connection to the Isle of Wight.

I don't think that your Lillie Frances was a Spanner by birth. I think she was Lillie Benton who married William Sanders and then Percy Spanner.

Lillie's first marriage?
