There is no Mary Carter born in Chichester in that year on Freebmd. What else do you know?

CARTER, Louisa Casual Pauper Married

I have the birth details Jan, and (I really should know better, I've been doing this game long enough lol)...when I said born 1907, Chichester, I should have made it clearer that 1907 is the year of birth given on the 1911 census and she was in Chichester on that census (sorry). I don't have access to it, but the little I can see, it says "institution", and I'm curious to know if there are further details - i;e, orphaned, etc

Must be her then. If you check image, you will see the above couple recorded just above her name.

Thanks very much Jan, you're a star, and your info beat me to my sorry excuse for not making it clearer what I wanted ~ thank you very much ;-)

There is a sibling too:

The birthplace for Elsie is Locksbottom, which I think seems to be in Bromley Kent??
