Claras birth cert will confirm MMN Name: Clara Elizabeth Cruse Year of Registration: 1898 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 293 There seems to be a big gap between ist child and marriage- may have been but a bit unusual

looking for 1901 occ- will be back

Jess, Snap - just what I am doing

1901 Occupation of labourer pipe laying so that does not match with the 1891 family that I posted - oh bother Maureen

Sorry - took ages to load page Off to work now- you're on your own - sorry!

SELENA.....are we saying that clara's maiden name was brindley then?

Jess, Ancestry is a bit slow loading images. Checked out 1837online - now called findmy past - they have the 1891 details that I posted transcribed as Cruse. Address is 2 Pine Grove, Miles St, Bordesley, Birmingham Maureen

It could be?? but getting a child's birth certificate would confirm. I will post it for you - just in case you want to rule it out later. Selena

i am a little confused. on the the 1901 lilian may is recorded at 5 years old but i know for fact birth was 1885 could i be right in saying that on the 1901 paper it actually looks like 15 and therefore all the others could be 18/11/13 this could explain the marriage dates??? could someone confirm this?
