Find Ancestors

My great gran parents appear to have two children with the same name.The first one is born in Romsey Hampshire in 1868.She is still alive in the 1911 census
The only evidence that the second one exists is in the 1901 census when she is shown as 14 last birthday.
The Census form shows her also as being born in Romsey. However the family had already moved to Steventon Hampshire. She is not shown as living with the family in the 1891 census even though she would be only 4 years old.
So i suspect its the first Rosalie aged in 1901 32 or 33 and the enumerator has put in the wrong age.
Is that possible ? Does anyone else know of this lady.

Have you actually looked at the 1901 image

Two Rosalie Hardings were registered in Hampshire,

1868---Romsey.

1898---Portsea.

Perhaps by chance the parents of both Rosalie had the same names?

1891 there is this one

Who do you think her parents are ?


The 1901 census is clear as age 14 with parents of Richard and Elizabeth

The image for the 1901 also clearly states age 14:

HARDING, Richard Head Married M 57 1844 Railway Signalman L S W R Romsey, Hampshire
HARDING, Elizabeth Wife Married F 58 1843 Romsey, Hampshire
HARDING, Rosalie Daughter Single F 14 1887 Romsey, Hampshire

1871

Martha Kate Harding 2 Months


1911

Richard Harding 68
Elizabeth Harding 68
Rosalie Harding 42
Auther Harding 28
Edith Bance 44

--------------------

Original clearly says aged 14

1901

Richard Harding 57
Elizabeth Harding 58
Rosalie Harding 14
Ralph Harding 13

1891

Rick Harding 47
Elizabeth Harding 40
Ernest George Harding 11
Authur Alfred Harding 8
Edgar Ralph Harding 3

Two possibilities:

The enumerator for the 1901 misheard 32 for 14 (unlikely)

Rosalie born 1888 is actually an illegitimate granddaughter recorded as daughter to save face.

Mother Elizabeth ages 18yrs between 1891 and 1901 so maybe they were just not good at maths!!!

Hello Ken and welcome to the Community Boards.





As Ken is a new poster, I will send a friendly message on how to return to his thread. :-)

Thanks for all your help will follow up your suggestions.
I have looked at the 1901 image. I note that Edgar Ralph is shown as Ralph.

1891 with Rosalie Harding as daughter of Mary Ann Hopps is yet again transcription error,on original definitely says Serv(servant) and single.
