Please can anyone help me tracing anything on Annie Knight, born about 1862 ish in Birmingham. She married Joseph Rose 5th April 1881, age 19 in Birmingham. I have details of her life from then onwards. But it is her life before the I am having problems with. On the marriage cert her father's name is Joseph, corporation labourer. I just cannot find her on any earlier census. Any leads would be great. Thank you Mandy
