Thanks everyone for taking a look.
I spent another 6-hours on it again last night and come to the same conclusions.
Perhaps the power of DNA will get to the bottom of it one day.

Many thanks.

There is no record an any censuses that I can see of a George Dash - engineer.

My humble apologies - I has scanned through previous posts and missed that EricaH
although not sure engineer was mentioned.

Whether right or wrong that's where the OP has her linked the 1901 census

For our info 1891


Alexander Eager Head Married Male 49 1842 Caretaker Job Masters Scotland
Helen Eager Wife Married Female 36 1855 - Scotland
Helen J Eager Daughter Single Female 13 1878 - Hampshire, England
Agnes Eager Daughter - Female 11 1880 Scholar Aldershot, Hampshire, England
Georgina Dash Visitor Single Female 22 1869 Housemaid Domestic Servant - Holborn

As she was a 'visitor' one assumes the family knew her, so perhaps there was some connection?

No penalties for not registering births prior to 1875

It may be that she wasn't 'Dash' at birth

As I'm sure you are aware, 'deceased' fathers were sometimes fabricated

Address given when marrying : 18 Upper Montague Mews, which was also her groom's address, so probably given as a matter of convenience, to save paying for two sets of Banns

Hi Folks,
I have been dipping in and out with this for over 25 years and still can't find anything. Knowing how resourceful you lot are, I thought I'd throw it out there and see what happens.
It concerns my Great Grandmother - Georgina Florence DASH
I cannot find anything on her prior to the 1891 census. It's as though she and her family (if any) didn't exist. Here's what I know;

1891 census - age 22 born Holborn single
1901 census - age 32 born St Pancras married
1911 census - age 42 born Holborn married

Marriage; 13th April 1892 to Walter John TULIT in Bloomsbury, London
She was a spinster, Father - George DASH (deceased) an Engineer.

I know everything about her from 1891 but would love to find something before then. I cannot find a birth record, nor anything about her parents or possible siblings. Perhaps she was found in a cabbage patch!!

She had 12 children and none of us descendants know anything about her early life.

Thanking you in anticipation.
