The one mentioned above, although transcribed as 4 years old on FMP is actually 12 and is in Oldham workhouse. :-(

Good try though Vanessa.

I don't have a subscription so cant see full details, but there is a Winifred Conway, with birth estimated at 1887, in Oldham on the 1891 census - this is the only one I can see in the area. She is listed as an Inmate in some institution - could be a hospital, workhouse, etc

Maybe somebody with access to Ancestry or FMP could provide more detail on this one?

In 1901, Winifred was living with Caroline Crossley in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Caroline was born 1861, Oswaldtwistle Lancashire, and Winifred in Pendleton, Lancashire. Winifred was a boarder. Caroline had a son Noah b 1888. In 1910, Winifred and Noah married in Oldham, Lancashire. Her father was named as Frank Conway, deceased.

In 1911, Noah and Winifred are still in Oldham, with Caroline Crossley.Winifred says she was born in Oldham.

For information, Caroline Crossley was born Parker, and married John Edmund Crossley b1861, who is another story.

On the 1939 Register, Winifred gives her birth date as 26 April 1885.

There are two Winifred Conways born in the June quarter of 1885, both in Wakefield, Yorkshire. One dies the same quarter. The other I have not found in Wakefield at all.

I can find no birth for her in Lancashire, nor any sighting in 1891. Can anyone help?

I might have posted all this some years ago, if so, apologies.It's been a long time.
