Hi, I hope someone can help, I am research my Grandfathers Mothers Mother Elizabeth Ann Reed she had a daughter (my Great grandmother) Florence Elizabeth Reed.. Before i sent away for her Birth Cert i was told she was born out of wedlock and was brought up by her Grandmother ( no one know who she is) they lived in Llantwit Major. Florence Elizabeth according to birth cert was born 27th December 1887 at Bridgend Union work house to Elizabeth Ann Reed a General servant in Llantwit Major, and this is all i have on Elizabeth Ann. As for Florence Elizabeth she married my Great Grandfather James William Mear and i have lots of information from then on to do with the Mears. I just am finding it difficult to know exactly who she is on the census returns. |

In 1881 Ann is in the work house in Bridgend. I can't see any children with her. |

A tree on Ancestry has that 1891 census attached to Florence but her mother was Elizabeth and there is an Elizabeth aged 5 in that census- two daughters with the same name? Also, William is the same age as Florence. |

Poster has said that Florence was brought up by her grandmother. Probably recorded as daughter in error. |

It looks possible. she probably did work away from home, under the circumstances. |

Florence and William were not twins, there is no William Reed recorded same quarter as Florence's birth. |
