Find Ancestors

I am having trouble finding Dorothy in the 1911 census.

She was born 12/3/1904 in Erith Kent

I have found her widowed mother, but she is not living with her.

I'll post this to give parents' names:

Well it seems she disappeared along with her brother in 1911. But here she is with the name 'Knight'

1939 Register
26 Appe? Hill Road , Erith M.B., Kent, England


Dorothy A Knight (Pearson) 12 Mar 1904 Female Domestic Servant (Daily Maid)Single 31
Winifred A Pearson 11 Aug 1875 Female School Cleaner Widowed 31
Joseph I Williams 12 Aug 1901 Male Bricklayer Single 31


Might be worth checking out the name 'knight' as she claims to be single in 1939

Winifred Annie in 1911. The Oxley family are not on the original, it's only Winifred and her uncle Edwin William Goold. Winifred says that she had 3 children and one of them had died. So where are the other two?

Yes where are the 2 children? My question exactly.

Thanks for all the help. Most of the above I have managed to trace except the 1939 register.

She married Cecil Knight in 1959 so I guess the notation on the 1939 register must be an update from later on.

i wonder if she didnt realise she had to add the childrens names but they were with her . they are living in six rooms which is big for just two adults

Yes Choccy, I saw that one for Agnes and erred on the side of doubt because of place of birth

Jude

Yes John Pearson is too common a name, but Dorothy Agnes!

Interesting theory Shirley you may something.

Sorry, I forgot about the updates to the 1939 register!

Shirley, I think you might have hit the nail on head in respect of your hypothesis
