Find Ancestors

Margaret is my grandmother, but cant find her anywhere in the census. Found her birth record and marriage record. She missing from the two census records? Any clues as to why, and have tried all variations of Margaret...

Born where ?

So you do not have her marriage or birth certs just the registration details - both would be very useful

She was born in Islington , London

she married a James smith in 1914 I think in shoreditch

You need her parents names from the birth cert

Births Dec 1892
Franklin Margaret Jane - Islington 1b 297

I think you need her birth certificate so you know who her parents were. This would make it easier to find her in the census records.
