Could someone do a look up for me and try to help me with more info on the following family please?

Lavinia Kindon married James Forbes in the Sep Q of 1900. Kidderminster.

Lavinia was born in Stourport , Worcestershire in 1878.

Can anyone help with where they lived in the 1901 census and what jobs did they do? It may have been a little too early for them to have had children.

I should be able to move on with finding out more if I can establish a few more facts bout this couple.

Nala. :-)

FORBES Lavinia 76 Kidderminster 9d 127
