Magdalene was born in 1870 so I don't think she's the one. Rose

You have helped loads THANKS!!! wish i did'nt spend that £5 now :-(

You can also use this site: http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk It gives a little more info. like where they were born. I put in West Hartlepool to narrow down the results. Rose

You can search the 1901 census for free on Ancestry. You just need to register. Having said that, I don't see her listed there. Rose

Yes that's the one. So whats the best way to do a search?

Lee, That's records link is terrible. You don't need to pay to find out what you need to know unless she's on the 1851 census. Is she the one born in 1901? Rose

I've clicked on the records link on top off this page. Her name is Gwendoline Burrows she was born in Hartlepool Durham

Lee, Where are you looking and using credits? What's your nan's name and where was she born? Rose

hi, i just paid £5 to get 50 credits. I've done a search for my gnan found her name i think, was hoping it would give me info on her parents
