Sorry haven't got her birth date. Wow, thanks Chloe for looking up those!! Going by the information I have am looking at between 1879 and 1881!! That is all I know :( Cate

If she had another name at birth this may be her Elizabeth A Bayliss . I know it says Denton as P.O.B. in 1901 but that may be wrong . Elizabeth A. Bayliss abt 1881 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Daughter Liverpool John J. Bayliss abt 1879 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Son Liverpool Joseph Bayliss abt 1858 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Head Liverpool Mary Bayliss abt 1860 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Wife Liverpool John Dunn abt 1807 Ireland Father in Law Liverpool Or she maybe Alice Amelia... Alice A.H. Bayliss abt 1879 Pemberton, Lancashire, England Daughter Pemberton Charlotte Bayliss abt 1881 Pemberton, Lancashire, England Daughter Pemberton Elizabeth Bayliss abt 1851 Pemberton, Lancashire, England Wife Pemberton Joseph Bayliss abt 1872 Pemberton, Lancashire, England Son Pemberton Levi Bayliss abt 1851 Ludeershall, Buckinghamshire, England Head Pemberton Hope this may be of use to you Miriam Abbott

hello Kate, have looked on Ancestry using all sorts of combinations, but still can't find her in 18 or 91, sorry. Just looked again, the only Amelia I can find born in 1880 in Denton is Amelia Cooke? Maggy

Thanks Maggy, I have too, getting really frustrated now! Have gone back to the 1790's with my Great Grandfather but stuck now on Amelia!! Cate:(

Thanks Miriam, will look into those names! Cate:)

HI MY amelia (on birth certificate was actually transcribed on the 1901 census as EMILY!!! Regards Joan

And I have an Amelia who is transcribed as Aurelia! Marjorie

Hi, Yes I think she has been mis-transcribed, now looking at Emily's etc!! Cate :s

Helen Where do I go to get the Family history Library film records please? I have been looking on Fam. Rels + 1837 but you seem to have got far more info from your source. Many Thanks Ann

Also check Milly even Millicent on censuses.

Trying to think outside the box....You have found Amelia on 1901 Census, so i presume that it lists the other persons in the house. As Amelia seems to be hard to find, try looking for another member. Try her father or mother if they are listed. Remember that the census only recorded who was there at the time, it may be that she was away at the time of recording. At least if other members are still listed at the same address you know that they haven't moved. Happy searching, Mel in Oz.

Thanks for that list karen, thats great!! Mel in Oz - In 1901 she was a servant!?! so no other members of her family were on the household with her! Cate:(
