I've tried every which way to find my paternal grandmother in 1911. She was born in Wellington, Cape Town, South Africa in 1887. Her name was Mary Ann Jackson but called herself, Mary, May, Marion, Marian etc. Her sister who is with the family said she was 'born in the Colonies' but Mary, May etc..is not at home with the rest of them. |

I'm with Munton then! Have seen stranger transcriptions (just!), My grandmother Emily is transcribed as Elmney, which led me a merry dance I can tell you. |

I've just had an idea (did you see the flash?) MUNTON - has the same number of letters as MARION which is one of the names she used so could be a mad transcription. Age is 3 years out, 2 really as she was born September - but I have known stranger things on the census. |
