Hi there,

Can anyone please help me to find Elizabeth Barrow as I am trying to trace her parents and then where she was after she left home... I know she was born in 1886 q. Dec. in Hailsham (which covers Heathfield I think).

1891 census Elizabeth Barrow, born in Heathfield 1887, living in Uckfield.
1901 census Elizabeth Barrow, now living in Hailsham, Sussex
1911 census Elizabeth Barrow, possibly living/working in Westminster, London.
Many thanks for any help offered.

Regards
Gabriella

Hi there, I can see that the one born in Hailsham area was Elizabeth S. A. Barrow which matches up to the one GlitterBaby has found for me in Muswell Hill, but it appears that there are two.....both born in Heathfield..... I am fairly sure the one I am looking for was born as Elizabeth Sarah Ann in 1886. I will double check to see who the other Elizabeth Barrow is... Many thanks for all your help. Regards G.

Thanks for that Londonbelle, I had sen the Annie Elizabeth one, but as the Annie wasnt mentioned in the census of 1911, only Elizabeth, I didnt connect it to that Annie Elizabeth one. I think the correct one is the one that GlitterBaby has found for me as it includes all her middle names. So many thanks to you all for all your hard work, its MUCH appreciated. Regards. G
