Can anyone manage to help by pointing me in the right direction - Charlotte Louise
Zech (I have her birth certificate) born 1873 - 28 York Place Islington. She is my Grandfather's sister. I have searched every which way to find her but no luck. I think she must have died quite young (no record) as she is missing from a photograph that I have of my Grandfather age about 9 who was born after her.
